Tiger Kim, a renowned Thai boxer, questions how one can build a future when meals cost 70-80 baht and fuel prices are 40-50 baht per liter.
On 6 Apr 2026 GMT+7, Tiger Kim Pongsuphan PK, a famous Thai boxer, posted an intriguing message amid rising living costs and higher fuel prices, asking, "How are we supposed to build ourselves up?"
Tiger Kim posted: "It's impossible to get rich. How can we build ourselves up? Meals cost 70-80 baht, fuel is 40-50 baht per liter, gold is seventy to eighty thousand baht per baht weight. Just when we start to build ourselves, the money earned is gone immediately on fuel and food."
Tiger Kim is a boxer who gained nationwide fame by winning the 7 Colors Muay Thai Championship, the Thailand Championship, and three Lumpinee Stadium titles. He also had the opportunity to compete and build his reputation in Japan.
In mid-2020, Tiger Kim shocked the boxing world by announcing his retirement while at his peak, before turning to durian business ventures.
“Big Boss Chatri,” CEO of ONE, stepped in to help by coordinating through “Sia Kaek” to bring Tiger Kim back to compete in Muay Thai again on the ONE Lumpinee stage, where he has since won six consecutive fights.
