POPULAR COMMENTATOR
Kittikorn is in high demand to cover everything from the English Premier League to Spanish La Liga, as well as the World Cup and Champions League. For live matches he has to narrate what happens on the pitch. He also needs to listen to the English commentary to clarify anything the camera misses. However, covering European sports means unfriendly time zones and therefore many late nights.
“My work hours are mostly at night,” Kittikorn said. “I’ve been doing this for more than 10 years now so I haven’t slept for a decade.”
Kittikorn said he has been double-booked sometimes and had to reject a client, but he added the longer he does the job, the more he loves it.
“The good thing about being a football commentator is that I get paid for watching my favourite sport and talking about it,” he said. “It’s a dream job, isn’t it?”
