Buakaw Banchamek, real name Sombat Bunchamek, 34, is the world’s most successful Thai K1 fighter. Following the drama of leaving his old agent and opening his own boxing gym, the prize fighter is now set to play the leading role in a movie. In Bin Bunluerit’s Thongdee Fun Khao, Buakaw plays the part of Phaya Phichai, the ancient Thai warrior hero from the King Taksin era.

One decade ago, Sumet “Lung Daeng” Pongkanpai, 53, and Namtan “Auan” Sophakij, 49, were homeless. Then they found a place to shelter at the Homeless Center Suwit Watnu in Bangkok Noi, a project funded by both the government and NGOs which helps homeless people with both accommodation and job opportunities. As they help out at a second homeless center on the outskirts of Bangkok (Phuttamonthon Sai 2), Daeng and Auan open up to BK about their newfound lives and self-sufficiency within the community.
