Totchtawan Sripan (Thai: ธชตวัน ศรีปาน) or formerly Tawan Sripan (Thai: ตะวัน ศรีปาน) nickname "Ban", is a Thai football manager and a former footballer. During his career, playing for clubs in Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore, he played as central midfielder or attacking midfielder. Totchtawan was a longstanding member of the Thailand national team, playing from 1992 to 2008.
Totchtawan became one of the greatest midfielders in Thailand, with his creative passing and set-piece taking. He won the award from Cheerthai.com, the main website for Thai football in 2001, for the best player of that year. His most voted memorable goals for the Thailand national team came from a friendly match against Manchester United in 2001 and a 30-yard free-kick against Holland in a friendly match in Bangkok in 2007, which Thailand lost 1-3.
Totchtawan announced his retirement after Thailand national football team failed to qualify for the World cup 2010. Thereafter, he was appointed as Thailand assistant coach by the Football Association of Thailand for cooperation working with Peter Reid who was appointed Thailand chief coach in August.
In November 2008, Tawan stood down from his duties as the assistant coach with the Thai national team, due to some players being unhappy with his other commitments to his club side BEC Tero Sasana (Tawan was still actively playing). Tawan's role as assistant coach to Reid saw the national team win one game and lose one game: beating North Korea in the opening game of the T&T Cup and losing away to Saudi Arabia.
