Sor Rungvisai came from a very poor family in Sisaket Province in Thailand. He moved to Bangkok to escape from poverty when he was 13 years old. When he arrived in Bangkok, he had to walk more than 60 miles to apply for a job as a refuse collector at a department store. Life was so difficult for him that he sometimes ate leftovers he collected from the refuse.Feldman, Corey (11 September 2017). "Sor Rungvisai Turns Trash Into Gold With KO of Chocolatito".
