Chatchai Budprom (Thai: ฉัตรชัย บุตรพรม, born February 4, 1987) is a Thai professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Thai League 1 club PT Prachuap, on loan from BG Pathum United and the Thailand national team.
Chatchai was called up several times by Thailand's former coach Winfried Schäfer. In 2013, he debuted for Thailand in a friendly match against Bhutan. Chatchai also played in the 2013 King's Cup against North Korea. In 2013 Chatchai was called up to the national team by Surachai Jaturapattarapong to the 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification. In May 2015, he was called up to Thailand to play in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC) against Vietnam.
Chatchai was the first-choice keeper for Thailand in the 2020 AFF Championship. However, he suffered an injury sidelining him for 8 months, while playing against Vietnam in the second leg of the tournament's semi-finals.[2]
Chatchai is known as one of the Thai goalkeepers who can play as a sweeper keeper. Thai football fans have criticized him as a goalkeeper who plays well with his feet and can intercept the ball outside the goal line.[3]
