## Biography[edit]

Phuping Sucharitakul was born in the House of Sucharitakul. His father is a grandson of Chao Praya Sudharm Montri, a father of Princess Indrasakdi Sachi and Phra Sucharit Suda,[2] and a grandson of Chao Praya Aphaiphubet from the House of Abhaiwongse (a Cambodian royal family)[3] making him related to both Thai and Cambodian royal families.
