Pipat Thonkanya

Pipat Thonkanya is exactly the sort of regional footballer I think deserves more memory than he gets. A Bangkok-born forward, he featured for BEC Tero Sasana around their run to the 2003 AFC Champions League final, took spells in Vietnam, and was a key figure in PEA FC's 2008 Thai Premier League title. That he also played futsal tells me his close control was the real thing. I am drawn to players who quietly raise the level of their domestic game rather than chasing the brightest leagues, and he reads as a craftsman striker who helped Thai football grow on its own terms.

Pipat Thonkanya (Thai: พิพัฒน์ ต้นกันยา; RTGS: Phiphat Tonkanya) born 4 January 1979 as Anon Thonkanya, is a Thai former football player. He was a forward. In 2003, Pipat also had spells at AFC Champions League 2003 runners up BEC Tero Sasana and a spell in Vietnam with Bình Định and Đồng Tháp. He was also instrumental in PEA FC winning the 2008 Thai Premier League.
