Early career

Chappuis began his playing career with hometown club FC Kloten but soon moved on to SC Young Fellows Juventus, spending some time in their youth ranks. He was on the move again though as Swiss Super League side Grasshopper Club snapped up the promising midfielder in July 2003.

Club career

Grasshoppers

Chappuis moved up through Grasshopper's youth system, soon playing regularly for the reserves but not being able to break into the first team though he was named in match day squads several times as he began training with the senior team.

Locarno and Lugano loans

He made his debut for Lugano on 14 July 2012 against FC Wil in a 3–1 victory.

Buriram United

In 2013, Chappuis moved to Thailand to join Buriram United and due to his Thai mother he was able to obtain Thai nationality thus allowing him to play for the club in the Thai Premier League and AFC Champions League within the domestic quota. He scored his first Buriram goal against Suphanburi FC, he scored by curling a corner into the second post. He also scored a goal in the 2013 AFC Champions League against Jiangsu Sainty, but twisted his knee and was ruled out for three months while celebrating the goal.
