This is Teh Chantima, a retired muay Thai kickboxer from Chiang Rai. He grew up with his granny and auntie in the far north of Thailand
Rigorously trained from early childhood, Teh reached the pinnacle of his profession when he boxed at the famed Lumphini Stadium in Bangkok.
Now retired, Teh wears his confident toughness with as much pride as he wears his huge rings.
Teh may be past his athletic prime, and he may be poor by Western standards, but he is centered, peaceful, and strong, living small.
