In 2008, defending Thai division 2 champions Muangthong United signed Kawin at the age of 18. In his first season with Muangthong United, he secured his first-team status and helped the club win the division 1 title that season. After Muangthong's promotion to the Thai Premier League for the 2009–2010 season, Kawin led the team to win the top division title two years in a row, 2009 and 2010. In October 2010, Bryan Robson, a Manchester United legend and Thailand's national team head coach at the time, spoke to United's goalkeeping coach, Eric Steele, suggesting he take a look at Kawin. However, Kawin broke his wrist, causing him to be out of action for months, ending his hopes of going on trial at Manchester United. At the start of the 2013 season, while competing in the 2013 Lunar New Year Cup, Kawin collided against Chris Dickson. He suffered a broken shin, which kept him out for 7 months. After returning to the pitch in the second leg of the Thai Premier League, he dislocated his shoulder and tore ligaments in a match against TOT S.C., ending his season. Kawin was named man of the match against Johor Darul Ta'zim in the second round of the 2016 AFC Champions League qualifying play-offs, saving all three of Johor's spot kicks in the penalty shoot-out.

A Buddhist, Kawin attended Assumption College Thonburi in high school and graduated from Assumption University with a bachelor in Business Administration. In September 2013, V. Vachiramethi, a famous Thai monk, advised him to add two Thai characters to his name, thus changing its spelling from กวิน to กวินทร์ (meaning "a great and powerful man") while retaining the pronunciation. Kawin is good friends with former national team captain Panupong Wongsa and his idols are Oliver Kahn and Sinthaweechai Hathairattanakool.
