Club career

Born in Samut Prakan province, Warakorn was loaned to Thai League 3 side Banbueng in 2020, alongside teammate Jakkapong Sanmahung.[2] However, after the league was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand, he returned to parent club Chonburi.[2]

The 2021 season was a better one for Warakorn, with a jump up to the Thai League 2 when he was loaned to Khon Kaen United, again making the move alongside Sanmahung.[2] After six games in the league, he played three times in the promotion play-offs, scoring the winning penalty to send Khon Kaen United to the Thai League 1.[3][4]

The following year, he was loaned again, this time to Nongbua Pitchaya of Thai League 1.[5] He made eight appearances in the league, scoring once.[1]

International career

Warakorn has represented Thailand at under-14, under-16 and under-19 level. [5]

Warakorn scored 4 goals in total in the 2018 AFC U-16 Championship qualification while playing for Thailand U16 against Northern Mariana Islands U16 and Timor-Leste U16. [6][7] In the 2018 AFC U-16 Championship, he scored 2 goals for Thailand U16 against Japan U16 and Malaysia U16. [8][9]

In the 2020 AFC U-19 Championship qualification, Warakorn scored 2 goals for Thailand U19 against Brunei U19 and Northern Mariana Islands U19. [10][11]
