Although he was selected for the national team, Lao Chantrea did not compete at the 31st SEA Games because his weight division was not an event.[11]

At the 32nd SEA Games, Lao Chantrea received a gold medal by defeating Vietnamese boxer Nguyen Hong Quan in the finals of the men's 75 kg weight division.[12] The match took place on the afternoon of May 11, 2023 at Morodok Techo National Stadium.[13]
