Somchai Chimlum (Thai: สมชาย ฉิมรัมย์, RTGS: Chimram, born 22 February 1976) is a Thai boxer. He initially fought Muay Thai matches under the stage name Namna Prasathinphanomrung (นำหน้า ปราสาทหินพนมรุ้ง), and is a former Lumpinee champion. He later shifted to international boxing, making the National Team around the same time he joined the Royal Thai Navy, in 1995.[1] He competed in the men's middleweight event at the 2000 Summer Olympics.[2]
Somchai retired from the Navy, where he held the rank of Petty Officer 1st Class, in 2010, and emigrated to Australia. He now works as a mixed martial arts coach in Melbourne, and is married.[1][3]
