Changpuek Kiatsongrit, born Somchai Ropkwaen in 1966, is a Thai former professional Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer. He is credited as one of the first Muay Thai fighters to travel abroad and meet fighters from other martial arts styles, who were often stronger and heavier than he was, which showed the world how effective Muay Thai can be. A seven time world champion who fought at weights from middleweight to heavyweight, he beat world class opponents including Rob Kaman three times, Rick Roufus, Peter Smit and Tosca Petridis. After his fighting career he stayed at the Sitpholek gym in Pattaya as a Muay Thai trainer.
