Boonpak Kwancharoen

Track and field athletics were only a small part of Boonpak Kwancharoen’s life. His sole appearance for Thailand at the Olympics came in 1952 in Helsinki, when he was eliminated in round one of the 800 meters event. He was also a reserve with the 4x100 and 4x400 relays at those Games, but did not compete in the former event, while the latter did not start at all. After athletics, he became much better known for his career as a science teacher at the Demonstration School of Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University. In 1970, he wrote a well-received book entitled “Young Scientists”.

Personal Best: 800 – unknown.
