Wikipedia says University of Phayao established 1995 and stuff rusts pretty fast here, but will admit Google search for ม. พ. does turn up a number of other universities which share the same abbreviation. Knowing where the sign was found would probably help narrow things down a lot. Edited January 31, 2021 by Gecko123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole covers from Pattaya (M.P. = mueang Pattaya, Pattaya city) show this. I can never refrain to notice when walking in Pattaya But the photo seems to show the emblem separated?

KhunBENQ Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Must admit that I only see manhole covers without the dots (.) between the letters and can't remember that detail. Wish a local could check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted February 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) This is a picture of a fancy lid from a 10 year old blog about Pattaya. It clearly shows Pattaya city in full text on the headline and the abbreviation with the dots. Edited February 1, 2021 by KhunBENQ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
