Muay Thai runs in Attachai's family and his cousin, Chaiya Sor Supawan, was also a champion in Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.[8] When Attachai was 12 years old, his parents could no longer afford to provide for all 4 of their children. Seeing Attachai win all his fights in his hometown, his cousin saw potential in him and decided to bring him to Bangkok to train at Por Somranchai Gym to provide him with a better training environment and ease his family's financial strain.
