Nicholas Bunkerd Kitbamrung was a Thai Catholic priest. Kitbamrung studied for almost two decades prior to his ordination at which stage he began pastoral work as an assistant to two pastors across Thai provinces. He soon became a noted catechist who instructed Salesian seminarians in such while teaching Salesian priests the Thai language. He was thrown into prison in 1941 when the Thai authorities accused him of espionage and collaboration with the French and he died in 1944 from tuberculosis after prolonged periods of mistreatment.
