Chalong first worked as a security guard for a private company and was asked to join Bangkok Prep to become an in house security guard over 14 years ago. Since then he has gradually been promoted to overlook the running of the whole campus at Sukhumvit 53. Gradually, climbing up the ladder he now owns the title of Site Inspector and Overseeing Security.
