Thun Krabei

Thun Krabei (Khmer: ធន់ ក្របី) was born in 2003 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and is a professional Kun Khmer fighter. He goes by the nickname “Nak Leng Runtah Chheung Pyus Samot,” which roughly means “the Sea Storm Thunderous Killer Kick.” Known for his strong kicks and aggressive style, Krabei has built a solid reputation in the Kun Khmer scene.

Krabei trains under Master Thun Sophea and Maeun Sophea, alongside experienced fighters like Lorn Panha, Thun Rithy, Thun Sothea, and Thun Vanna. So far, he’s fought in over 80 matches, with only 7 losses. His international record is especially strong, as he rarely loses.

On February 15, 2025, Krabei made waves with a first-round TKO against a French opponent in a bare-knuckle match. A well-placed punch to the face ended the fight quickly, proving just how dangerous he can be in the ring.

Despite his international success, Krabei has had a harder time breaking into Cambodia’s major fight events. His mentor, Thun Sophea, has mentioned that while Krabei’s skills are well-respected, he still hasn’t landed the top-level matches he’s aiming for.

Outside of Kun Khmer, Krabei has also started exploring kickboxing, looking to expand his skills and take on new challenges beyond traditional Cambodian martial arts.
