Theerathon believes this Thai national team is good enough to win the 2026 ASEAN Cup, and he jokes that Chatthachai Butprom is Thailand's 'Vosinha'.
On 28 July 2026, following the 2026 ASEAN Cup, the Thai national team defeated Laos 5-0 away, securing their first Group B win. However, some Thai fans considered the match an easy game.
Recently, Theerathon Bunmathan said, "The first game was good. I could see the determination of all the young players."
"Even if some see it as an easy game, the first match of the ASEAN Cup is always challenging. Everyone feels the pressure."
"I trust the senior players to support the younger ones. I believe this squad can win the championship. Everyone is hungry for success."
"I send encouragement to all the younger players, teammates, and seniors, including Brother Boy Chatthachai. I hope to see the Thai Vosinha take the field."
The 2026 ASEAN Cup Group B second match will see Thailand host Malaysia at Rajamangala Stadium on Saturday, 1 August, at 20:00.
