Amateur career

Artjanawat played for Thailand in the 2002 Asian Games, finishing tied for 29th in the individual event and seventh in the team event. [2]

Professional career

After turning professional in 2008, Artjanawat played on the Asian Tour but failed to achieve much success finishing outside the top-70 in each of his three seasons on the tour. [1] Since 2008, Artjanawat has also regularly played on the ASEAN PGA Tour and has had five victories on this tour and finished in the top-10 on the Order of Merit every year from 2008 to 2013 (1st, 4th, 4th, 1st, 6th, 3rd). [3]

In 2014, Artjanawat won his first Official World Golf Ranking points event at the PGM Sime Darby Harvard Championship on the Asian Development Tour, and attributed the win to a healthier lifestyle having taken up cycling. [4]
