Chitchanok Xaysensourinthone (th|ชิตชนก ไชยเสนสุรินธร,, lo|ຈິດຈິດຈັນສຸກ ໄຊສຸລິນທອນ; born 23 August 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward or a winger for Thai League 2 club Chiangmai. Born in Switzerland, he has represented Thailand at youth level.[2]
Chitchanok was born in Lausanne. His father is Lao and his mother is Thai who own an Asian restaurant.
At the age of thirteen Chitchanok joined the local team Yverdon-Sport's youth side, and after impressing at various Swiss youth levels had the opportunity to join Sampdoria's B team where he trained with future stars such as Mauro Icardi.[3] A serious knee injury kept him out of the game for a year, but desiring to play for his mother's birthplace Chitchanok took the opportunity to join Buriram United with Charyl Chappuis,[3] although because of that injury never made a first team appearance.
He then joined Muangthong United, although once again because of injury only played in the last game of the season where he scored a goal. BEC Tero Sasana's head coach Božidar Bandović was impressed by his performances though and had Chitchanok join his team. He scored his second professional goal in a win over Port F.C. in February 2015.[3]
Chitchanok joined Suphanburi and as a teammate with Chappuis again in August 2015. He scored his first goal for Supahnburi to level the score with Muangthong United in 2-2 match on 8 November and selected as Goal.com's Young Player of the Week.[4]
He was first called up to the under-23 Thailand team in a friendly in 2015. Because of his Lao origins and birth in Switzerland, he is eligible to represent Thailand, Laos and Switzerland.
