## Biography and career

Rak Saiyon was born in the Rayong Province and grew up in the Bang Khla District from the Chachoengsao Province. He started Muay Thai training at the Lukklongtan camp and fought in Chachoengsao until he was big enough to fight in Bangkok where he was scouted by the Songchai promotion in 1978. From then he was training at the Sor.Thanikul camp owned by famous promotor Klaew Thanikhul.
Bangkhlanoi became a top fighter in the smaller weight classes, beating notable champion Samransak Muangsurin and the famous Payakaroon brothers Kongtoranee Payakaroon and Samart Payakaroon. He captured the 102 lbs Lumpinee Stadium title in 1979 and the 108 lbs title in 1981.
