He was the seventh child among a family of eight children, two of whom were also Muay Thai fighters named Prasethosakdi Tor Silachai and Kasemnoi Tor Silachai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tongchai Tor Silachai aspired to be a fighter like his two brothers, and began training at the Tor Silachai Camp at age 10. The Tor Silachai Camp was owned by Lieutenant Colonel Weera Thao Nao, a former Lumpinee champion in the 1970s, and was located approximately 12km outside Korat City in a village named Pru Yai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1987, at age 15, Tongchai made his first appearance in Lumpinee Stadium at 100 lbs, defeating Noenthong in a points victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-fighter-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-fighter-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-fighter-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-fighter-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-fighter-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-fighter.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A young Tongchai Tor Silachai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tongchai&#8217;s Lumpinee Run<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1990, with Songchai as his promoter, Tongchai went on a remarkable run of wins against top class opponents. His wins against fighters such as Meethanoi Maliwan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4cbKGJgK2IM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chandet Sor Prantalay<\/a>, Chainoi Sitchunthong and Takrawlek Dejrath propelled him to a title challenge against the technician Nungubon Sitlerchai. The Thai media had given Nungubon the nickname \u201cTuan Pae\u201d which roughly translates to \u201cThe Limp\u201d as he was born with his left leg noticeably longer than his right. Despite this, he was a hugely talented fighter who had already beaten Tongchai in January, and had gone on to defeat Kompayak Singmanee to win the 105 lbs Lumpinee title two months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August of that year, amidst the electrifying atmosphere of Lumpinee Stadium, Tongchai and Nungubon crossed paths. Their meeting marked a pivotal moment as Tongchai took the win, clinching the 105 lbs Lumpinee belt from Nungubon in a decisive win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/young-Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-legend-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Tongchai Tor Silachai - Lumpinee Champion\" class=\"wp-image-7203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/young-Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-legend-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/young-Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-legend-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/young-Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-legend-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/young-Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-legend-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/muaythai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/young-Tongchai-Tor-Silachai-muay-thai-legend.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tongchai Tor Silachai &#8211; Lumpinee Champion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the momentum of his success, Tongchai secured five consecutive wins in the second half of 1990, culminating in a total of 18 fights with 15 wins throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tongchai kicked off 1991 with a strong start, beating the youthful \u201cVampire Knee\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VEsczWZ0Ouk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lamnammoon Sor Sumalee<\/a>, who was aged just 17 at the time.
