Ekachai Chaichaoren (Thai: นายเอกชัย ชัยเจริญ; born 24 July 1981), known professionally as Klairung Sor.Chaicharoen (Thai: ใกล้รุ่ง ส.ชัยเจริญ), is a retired Thai professional Muay Thai fighter.

Biography and career

Chaicharoen started training in Muay Thai at the age of 9 with his uncle Bangsarn Sor.Chaicharoen. He trained for two months before having his first fight under the ring name Klairung Sor.Chaicharoen which he got when he replaced a teammate named Klairung on short notice. He competed in his hometown of Tha Sala district and later in various southern provinces until he was scouted by the Onesongchai promotion in 1995.[1]

He slowly gained recognition weighing only 45 kg at the time while fighting at Samrong Stadium, Channel 5 and the Chachoengsao International Stadium before eventually graduating to the Rajadamnern Stadium. Promoter Songchai continuously gave Klairung fights, however, his fight style was considered limited at first as he only focused on clinching but as he kept improving he became one of the most dominant knee fighter (Muay Khao) of the Bangkok circuit entering 2001.[2]

During his career Klairung faced many notable champions of his era such as Ronnachai Naratreekul, Thongchai Tor.Silachai, Bovy Sor Udomson[3], Saenchai Sor.Kingstar, Phet-Ek Sitjaopho, Wuttidet Lukprabat, Attachai Fairtex, Kem Sor.Ploenchit or Singdam Kiatmuu9.[4]

In 2002 Klairung won nine out of ten fights. For his accomplishments during the year he received the Sports Authority of Thailand Fighter of the Year award.[5]

After retiring from competition, Klairung became a trainer at the Chaicharoen camp in his native Nakhon Si Thammarat province.
