Model for motivation

Guru, Chavisa Boonpiti, Published on 01/07/2016

» By looking at Komthanu Kuanpraserd today, the male model might appear like his good looks and confidence were a gift from god. They are, actually, the fruit of five years of discipline and dedication in which he managed to lose a staggering 26kg by eating healthy food and exercising regularly. A winner of the New You Achievement Awards by Fitness First, he is a role model for both exercise and motivation, with a massive online following of over 21.7k people on Instagram, and almost 2.7k likes on Facebook. He speaks to Guru on societal norms and snap-judgments people often make about overweight individuals, as well as controversial topics and the types of attention he received before and after his transformation.
