Phairat Phualai (Thai: ไพรัช ภูอาลัย; August 28, 1963), known professionally as Boonam Sor.Jarunee (Thai: บุญนำ ศ.จารุณี), is a Thai former professional Muay Thai fighter. He is a former five-time Rajadamnern Stadium champion across three divisions who fought during the 1980s and 1990s.
Biography and career
Boonam started training and competing in Muay Thai at the age of twelve with his older brother, Torsak Wayuphak. He fought during the Golden Era of Muay Thai against many notable fighters including Chamuekpet Hapalang, Kongtoranee Payakaroon, Panomtuanlek Hapalang, Jampatong Na Nontachai, Veeraphol Sahaprom[1], Paruhatlek Sitchunthong, Lankrung Kiatkriangkrai[2] and Boonlai Sor.Thanikul.[3] During his career, he captured five Rajadamnern Stadium belts across three divisions, defending them multiple times and winning a total of ten different title fights. Boonam fought at the highest level for almost 15 years and seemed about to quit many times but always managed to bounce back, earning him the nickname "Nine Lives Cat".[4][5]
After retiring from competition Boonam became a trainer and moved to Japan. He currently teaches in Osaka.[6]
