Here the defender was in the starting XI and played the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw. Overall, he completed 16 league games there while on loan and one game in the Thai League Cup.

In the 2022–23 season, Chanapach was loaned to the Lamphun Warriors.[3] He played four first division games for the club from Lamphun. After the loan, he returned to BG at the end of December 2022.

In January 2025, Chanapach signed a 1-year loan contract to J3 league club Nara Club. But after 6 months, as a result of his health issue abnormalities associated with polycystic kidney disease (a hereditary condition) were detected during a medical check-up. With a further operation required, Nara Club and Chanapach mutually agreed to terminate his contract. He returned to BG Pathum United in June 2025.
