Living in Bangkok, Thailand, confident Nai is not your average overweight contestant.
Rather than shyness or insecurity, his daily struggles with weight are very practical and include clothes shopping and travelling on public transport.
“Thai society seems to accept big people,” he said. Nai comes from a part-Chinese part-Thai family where food has always been a big part of all family gatherings. In fact, Nai said that most Chinese love fat people and think it's a sign of richness or wealth.
Nai has tried to lose weight before, however his exercise routine didn't work and he resorted to taking diet pills, which landed him in hospital because of severe chest pain.
Nai finds food comforting and is very honest about how grumpy he gets when anything interferes with his meals! However, after his father’s death due to obesity, Nai had a wake-up call that forced him to take action. This family tragedy has inspired him to face his bad lifestyle and eating habits, and turn to The Biggest Loser for help. Determined, confident and strong, Nai believes he will work hard enough to stay in the game for the long run, change his life around and become Asia’s next Biggest Loser.
