The Gold’n State Rangers are proud to announce Chaiyaporn Oliver Poupart as an official addition to the 2026 roster.

A Bangkok based acclaimed actor and athlete, Oliver has built an impressive career across television and film, earning recognition for his work both in Thailand and internationally. Alongside his work on screen, he has developed a high level game within the Bangkok pickleball community, where his athleticism and court awareness have set him apart.

While Thailand’s pickleball scene continues to grow, opportunities at the semi-pro level remain limited. Oliver has expressed interest in competing at a higher level, and with his current move to Los Angeles to film a new television project through the remainder of the year, the timing aligned naturally.

With appreciation to the @uplsemiprocircuit for granting special clearance to carry an additional player this season, we’re excited to welcome Oliver to the Rangers.

We look forward to seeing his impact on the court.

*April Fools! While Oliver is a friend of the Rangers, he isn’t actually joining our ranks. We wish him success with filming his current series in Bangkok, and hope he someday makes it to LA for an exhibition match!
