Boxing career He made his professional boxing debut by defeating fellow Thai boxer Manfa Luksaikongdin, a former Pan Asian Boxing Association (PABA) light welterweight champion on points over six rounds in early 2008.
In 2011 and 2013, he traveled to the United States as a sparring partner for star Manny Pacquiao.
On February 17, 2017, he beat Vijender Kumar of India by ninth-round technical knockout at Morseng Thailand Building, Nham Daeng Market, Samut Prakan province.
Challenging for the WBA welterweight title On January 20, 2018, he fought against and lost via 8th-round KO to Lucas Matthysse from Argentina for the vacant WBA Welterweight world championship in California, United States in a fight organized by Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions. During that time, he trained with former WBC champion Sirimongkol Singwangcha and Olympic medalist Suriya Prasathinphimai.
Super welterweight and Light heavyweight Following his unsuccessful bid for the world title, Teerachai moved up to super welterweight and returned to fighting regularly in Thailand.
