That nickname is pronounced more like "Bam" than "Bum" by Thais .....

Or like "Bomb." My niece's husband has a niece in Kalasin with that nickname.

I am not sure I'd want to go by the nickname "Dr Bum", especially not if I have become a spokesperson for the government and, thus, have a relatively high international profile, being featured in the English-language media.

 

And judging from the OP pics, "Dr Boob" probably was not an option. 

Well there was a recent P M who was called Poo

Just think of the possibilities for comedians around the world  

[Blumpie]

Well this doesn't surprise me.

Is that hand sanitiser in my pocket or am I pleased to see her..... !!!!....

Stupid nickname comments aside, She runs a Beauty Clinic!!! Isn't there anyone somewhat more qualified in public health, maybe a doctor that would ACTUALLY treat Wuhan Virus patients, available for this position? Thailand just continues to step in dog-poo every chance it gets. 

Heck they could get a qualified physician to give updates and put a Pretty in a bikini on the stage as well if this is what Anutin wants. 

But I guess we'll get more restrictions based on junk science and who the heck knows what else. Thailand is a laughing stock at this point, while Vietnam has taken the crisis seriously and now is back to full normal again. This while Vietnam's medical system is maybe 20 years behind Thailand. They do have far fewer beauty clinics and weight loss centers - probably because the women are naturally pretty.

If Thailand is laughing stock in this pandemic, what about your UK sweden USA where people die drom covid like valueless animal???

 

Be careful about what you are making fun of , seem like you are making fun of yourself. 

[Blumpie]

Dr. Bum, Dr. Bum, please report to the nursing station.  Dr. Bum.

You making fun of her name displaying your immaturity. You just support this long - time steryotype of farang in Thailand as loser.

These doctors you made fun of at least can save your life here in Thailand during covid19. You are not even on par with her level of expertise and importance. Know your low insignifican position here.

Be thanksful that you are here or els go back to 10% covid death rate country. go!!

Is she a doctor?  ????

[Gene1960]

It’s looks strange when people who claim to be long time residents of Thailand still mock the Thai nicknames. It’s very anglocentric, there’re many languages in the world.

The top photo would be a good advertisement as a “before” and “after” for nose reconstruction surgery.

Yes, with that animalistic sound of a real gentleman, you will only have the bat and the cave left and she will be yours forever.

I guess Mr Auntin has had some say in her new role. Maybe more. 

I'd like to have been a fly on the wall during that particular job interview & was he wearing a mask?

[Grumpy one]

I'm sorry to say but anyone with the name Bum, has to be the butt of all jokes  ????

[wavodavo]

Where can  I book Dr. Bum for my next rectal examination for prostrate cancer???

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

So, given the posts above....

 

Is it BUM, BAM or BOOM?  Or some interesting combination of any of the three together?

 

Something like Boom Bam Bum?

With a single digit new infection rate for almost two weeks, it's completely insane the country remains at a State of Emergency, businesses remain closed and highly restricted to operate, and peoples' livelihood's are destroyed. Come to my neighborhood to see all the empty stores on what was a thriving street - these are ALL local Thai shops that are closed for good. The owners lost all their investment, plus I'm sure a lot more to the loan sharks. While here you can see all the proud, but desperate people trying to find a way to make some money to pay for food and rent. This is in the center of Bangkok!

Yes the Thai Government is a laughing stock for needlessly destroying the economy, pushing scores of people into poverty to fight a virus, which if you believe their number, has killed fewer people than normally die in road accidents a typical weekend day.

I consulted with the Thai wife... After doing some checking, she came back with the opinion of the Thai pronunciation being closer "BOOM"!

[Logosone]

Dr Bum, Dr Porn, Dr Boom, whatever, I'd rather hear news from her than a 55 year old European.

 

Bring her on.
