Rak Saiyon (Thai: รักษ์ สายยนต์; 23 September 1962 – 18 May 2024), known professionally as Bangkhlanoi Sor.Thanikul (Thai: บางคล้าน้อย ส.ธนิกุล), was a Thai professional Muay Thai fighter. He was a three-division Lumpinee Stadium champion who was famous during the 1970s and 1980s.
Biography and career
Rak Saiyon was born in the Rayong Province and grew up in the Bang Khla District from the Chachoengsao Province. He started Muay Thai training at the Lukklongtan camp and fought in Chachoengsao until he was big enough to fight in Bangkok where he was scouted by the Songchai promotion in 1978. From then he was training at the Sor.Thanikul camp owned by famous promotor Klaew Thanikhul.[citation needed]
Bangkhlanoi became a top fighter in the smaller weight classes, beating notable champion Samransak Muangsurin and the famous Payakaroon brothers Kongtoranee Payakaroon and Samart Payakaroon.[1] He captured the 102 lbs Lumpinee Stadium title in 1979 and the 108 lbs title in 1981.[2]
Bangkhlanoi defeated hard puncher Mafuang Weerapol on 24 August 1982 for the Lumpinee Stadium 118 lbs title.[3][non-primary source needed] They rematched on 24 December 1982 at Rajadamnern Stadium. Bangkhlanoi won by decision and received the "Best Fighter Award" from the hands of Princess Maha Chakri Sririndhorn.[4][non-primary source needed]
Bangkhlanoi became less dominant in the second half of the 1980s. He had a trilogy memorable for its violence against Paiboon Fairtex in 1986.[5] Bangkhlanoi retired in 1988.[citation needed]
