In his earlier days, he valiantly battled against the Communist Party of Thailand in the northeastern region of Thailand, becoming a recipient of the Order of Rama's The Rama Medal for Gallantry in Action, which was commonly given to soldiers and rarely a police. and gained the moniker "Hero of Na Kae".
