What Is It With The Pat Thing

[doomster]

Is there and mystical connection with the prefix Pat when it comes to a certain kind of entertainment.

Pat taya - Pat ong - Pat pong are all well known for a certain kind of pleasure. Coincidence or not

[bkkjames]

Just be thankful Krabi is not like any of those mentioned.

Doctor Pat Pong probably knows the correct answer to this.

My guess is, all those places you have mentioned are the more classier areas of Thailand, so maybe 'Pat' is a classy thai guy from the history books of Thailand.

[Maigo6]

Ask Patrick or Patricia.

Sounds reasonable But how about Cowboy or Nana

Well I asked my staff and one said nothing specific about the Pat - just part of a name.

[Samuian]

Seems to be a bit a case of "Pat Thai in Pat-Tay-a" stir fired in the walking street!

have a good mate his name is Pat Mc Shag!

Pardon, in Patong, all night long?

"Tom, tom where you go last night..."

[doomster]

Oh, listen to the song that's humming in your ear

Just shake your leg with a

Shake, shake, shakey shake,

Shakey, shakey, shake, shake

Pat your tummy with a

Pat, pat, patty pat,

Patty, patty, pat, pat-poo!

Oh, listen to the song that's humming in your ear

And you'll have more fun than you've had all year.

Just flap your arms with a

Flap, flap, flappy flap

Flappy, flappy, flap, flap

Wiggle your fingers with a

Which reminds me of a question to which many former readers of the Beano may want an answer -

if Desperate Dan ever had a holiday in Thailand, was his favourite takeaway Khao Pai?

[WinnieTheKhwai]

good question, wonder if the actual real answer will ever get posted?

Sure it will.

They're only similar in English, due to the issue of not having enough consonants in that language.

Patpong is พัฒน์พงษ์ , named after the Thai-Chinese Phatphongphanich family.

Pattaya is พัทยา, so roughly similar to Phatpong in that it at least starts with the same consonant and vowel.

Patong (on Phuket) is ป่าตอง, this really is completley different. Different consonant, different vowel, different word. It's not even remotely similar to the other two. ป่า here is paa (low tone) as in forest.

You're all very welcome. Next.

Yes, is it Winnifred or Winnipeg Mr. Kwai?

[Birdman]

It's evident, that the origin of the term "expat" is not Expatriate, but a foreigner coming from Pat taya - Pat ong - Pat pong (ex Pat).

[saintofsilence]

well after a little research in my history library , it seems that many years ago there was and old influential and wise lady named Pat and she had 3 children Taya Ong & Pong who all had locations named after then.

Alas, the question has been lost in translation - or something like that. The point of the question was: why do places with names prefixed with Pat attract 'sex tourists'. There i have said it

Good theory except for the aforementioned Cowboy and Nana. But I do like sound of CowboyPat and PatNana.

Well, there it doesn't work either because there are PLENTY places for sex (tourism or otherwise) that don't start with Pat-

Next we'll hear from someone who, while on his daily Chang-high, suggests that all postal codes of red light areas have a particular number in them..

Or that all sex workers come from some mysterious "Isan Triangle" that spans roughly Khorat - Ubon - Nong Khai.

Ooohhhh Twilight Zone....
