Boonsai Sangsurat a.k.a. Medgoen Singsurat (Thai: เม็ดเงิน 3เคแบตเตอรี่; born July 12, 1978 in Roi Et, Thailand) is a professional boxer from Thailand.
Sangsurat has assumed various ring names, including Medgoen Kratingdaenggym (Thai: เม็ดเงิน กระทิงแดงยิม) and Medgoen Lukjaopormahesak (Thai: เม็ดเงิน ลูกเจ้าพ่อมเหศักดิ์), albeit his real name or birth name has been confirmed as "Boonsai Sangsurat" (Thai: บุญใส สังสุราช). The non-Thai media also refer to him as Medgoen Singsurat, 3K Battery for Filipinos or simply Medgoen Singh.
Medgoen is a southpaw fighter who turned pro in 1997 and in 1999, captured the Lineal Flyweight Championship with a win over Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao. Because of his win over Manny Pacquiao, Medgoen's name is often mentioned during Pacquiao's fights, because he is one of the six opponents to have beaten Pacquiao (the other five being Floyd Mayweather, Rustico Torrecampo, Erik Morales, Timothy Bradley, and Juan Manuel Márquez), and one of the three opponents to have knocked Pacquiao out. He is the second boxer to defeat Pacquiao in the latter's overall pro boxing career. He also won the vacant WBC Flyweight title that had been stripped from Pacquiao due to Pacquiao coming overweight at the weight-ins. He defended the titles once more before losing the titles in 2000 to Malcolm Tuñacao by TKO.
