I’m eyeing two up-coming competitions; the Asia Championship and the Olympics. But actually, I’m more focused on the Olympics: it’s my dream.

I was inspired to go to the Olympics by Wijarn Polrit who won a gold medal at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. The Thai team got silver last time. This time we want gold.
