Biography and career

Born as Pairot Maithong on October 22, 1973 in Sikhoraphum district, Surin province. He was the fourth child among the six children of Sompong and Prasong Maithong, who had a career as a trader. He fought for the first time at the age of 12 following his older brother named Pichai Wor.Walapon for only 50 baht. Pairot made his debut in Bangkok in 1988, he quickly made a name but quit the sport for over a year in 1990 due to the toll it was taking on his body. He made his comeback in 1992 and by the next year he became a household name on the circuit.[3]
