Another perspective on "Je Ae's Son": The hard training behind his success in shooting sports.
On 18 March 2026, Thairath Sports news team had the opportunity to interview "Je Ae" Nattharin Kasemsanphipat, a well-known influencer, who shared another perspective on "Je Ae's Son," a prominent Thai youth shooter who won a championship in Bali. She clarified that the firearm license (Por 3) was not requested by her son but was handled by his father, following all legal procedures.
Regarding the dissemination of news that caused public misunderstanding, we will address doubts from another viewpoint and apologize if any aspect was not fully communicated.
Je Ae explained, "The beginning of his shooting sports journey started seriously at about 10 years old, before going to study in the United Kingdom. After returning, he continued rigorous training, completed the full IPSC course, and started competing, earning numerous awards including the royal trophy."
"The training was very intense. Between ages 11 and 12, he competed almost every week without breaks to gain experience and points. He won a gold medal in a competition in Bali, although some events did not award trophies due to participant number restrictions."
"Additionally, he took a break from shooting for nearly a year before returning to compete again and successfully achieved first place at the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy in Nakhon Nayok."
Je Ae added, "I am very proud of my son because he has never disappointed us in either his studies or behavior. He is highly determined and even continued competing despite injuries during matches."
"Regarding his studies, he manages his time well, and the school supports him by requiring him to attend three extra terms to compensate for time spent on sports competitions."
"Concerning the firearm license (Por 3), I confirm it was legally obtained by the father to allow him to bring weapons for international competitions, which is a normal procedure for shooting athletes. It is not illegal in any way."
Je Ae emphasized, "The reason I spoke out is because I disagree with misleading headlines and want society to focus on the genuine efforts of a young person rather than drama."
"As for future goals, I let my son choose his own path. He shows interest in continuing military studies, which can further develop his shooting skills."
