Biography and career
Originating from Maha Sarakham Province, Thailand, Kem initiated his fighting journey at the age of 13 in 1997. Following his achievement of a bronze medal at the IFMA 2012 World Muaythai Championships, he resumed competing professionally, capturing the Toyota Vigo Marathon title in 2012 by overcoming Thepsuthin Pumpanmuang, Prakaysaeng Gaiyang 5 Daow, and Sirimongkol Sitanuparp.
In November 2012, Kem was defeated by majority decision against eventual champion Andy Souwer during the quarter-finals of the Shoot Boxing World Tournament 2012 held in Tokyo. The next month saw him suffer a knockout loss to former teammate Yodsaenklai Fairtex at Muay Thai Combat Mania: Pattaya.
At Yokkao Extreme 2013 in Milan, Kem fought to a draw with Jordan Watson and then achieved a unanimous decision victory over Mickael Piscitello at Best of Siam 3 in Paris. On May 6, 2013, he secured a win against Dylan Salvador at MAX Muay Thai 1 in Surin, Thailand.
Although initially linked to a bout with Mehdi Zatout at the WBC World Muay Thai Millennium Championship in Réunion, Kem publicly denied his involvement. He was also slated to compete at MAX Muay Thai 2 in Jakarta but withdrew prior to the event. At MAX Muay Thai 3 in Zhengzhou, China, he delivered a knockout via elbow strike against Maiki Karathanasis.
Kem continued his victorious streak by defeating Vahid Roshani at MAX Muay Thai 5: The Final Chapter in Khon Kaen. Nevertheless, on January 25, 2014, he lost the WBC Muaythai World Super Welterweight (-69.8 kg) Championship title to Vitaly Gurkov by decision in Milan.
Competing in the welterweight (-70 kg) bracket during Xtreme Muay Thai 2014 in Hong Kong, Kem was knocked out in the second round by Victor Nagbe following a high kick. He bounced back with a TKO victory over Singmanee Kaewsamrit due to a cut sustained by his opponent at Muay Thai in Macau on June 6, 2014.
