Chavalert Chumkum was a former world-class badminton player who represented Thailand from the early 1960s to the early 1970s. [1]
At a time when Thailand was known for its doubles specialists, Chumkum won more Thai national men's doubles titles than any other player of his era. [2] His Thomas Cup (men's international team) record is particularly noteworthy. Participating in the '60-'61, '63-'64, and '69-'70 campaigns (Thailand declined to compete in '66-'67), Chumkum won 19 of the 23 doubles matches that he contested in ties (team matches) against Indonesia, Denmark, Malaysia, Japan, and India among other nations. [3] [4] He captured the men's doubles title at the 1965 Asian Badminton Championships with Narong Bhornchima. [5] Touring internationally in 1968 he shared the Dutch Open and the Canadian Open men's doubles titles, [6] and reached the All England Open men's doubles semifinal, with Sangob Rattanusorn.
