Poj Fuangfoo was born on Monday 14 August 1961 at Children Hospital located near Victory Monument, Bangkok. Now it is called Rajvithi Hospital. He is a second child of the family, having his father, Pravat Fuangfoo and mother, Somsri Fuangfoo. He has one elder brother named Suraphol and one younger sister named Somying, later changed to Thanutra and Phathunya eventually.

He spent his childhood at Charassamorn Kindergarten for 3 years, a year longer than the other because his teacher was convinced that he had difficulty with his pronunciation. He learned grade 1 at Charassamorn School after failing to enter Grade 1 at Assumption College. A year later he took an exam to enter Grade 1 at Assumption College. By the time he was in Grade 1 at Assumption College he was 8 yearsold, older than the average of his classmate.

His cousin who studied at Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy inspired him of becoming a cadet but at the age of 1 years old he had only one opportunity to take the exam for entering the Armed Forces Preparatory School and again he failed to do so. His fatehr encouraged him to study at Military Academy overseas.

But he was from the family of no military background,
