Somkiat Chantra 35
26 years old, he’s the biggest smile in the paddock.

Chantra’s resilience and determination shone through in 2022 when he secured Thailand’s first-ever Grand Prix win in the Mandalika rain and scored four podium results that season. In 2023, Chantra continued to push the boundaries of his performance, culminating in a triumphant victory at the Japanese Grand Prix, clinching two podiums that season. In 2025, he is making history by participating in the premier class with IDEMITSU Honda LCR, becoming the first Thai rider to achieve this milestone, an example for future generations. His journey is a testament to the fact that with hard work and determination, the future can always bring something unique and special.
