Getting silly now lets stay sensible please

Ouch. You have set the bar really high now.

Since the overwhelming majority of tourists in Naklua-Pattaya-Jomtien are Native American Indians, I say go with Na-Pa-Jo

Really??? Then how come I've never seen any? I see Russians, Chinese, Arabs, Indians (from India), Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, Brits, Germans, etc.. but I have yet to run across a Native American Indian. Where are they hiding? Don't tell me they're sucking down the 'firewater' either.

Fun City! :-)

Tourists generally have never heard of Nongprue or Banglamung. Insiders of course know it.

So true... Even the Thai Tourists don't seem to know it either.

Awohali Tsiktoli has eyes that see.

Many white eyes have eyes that cannot see.

Sometimes a journey into the unknown is good for white eyes.

Many white eyes have eyes that cannot see a joke in the form of an exaggeration

I still like Na-Pa-Jo.

The smoke is here. I must go.

I think Bangsalot describes it to perfection.

I see. My eyes must be red now. Although it might be the smoke.

Yeah, Na-Pa-Jo sounds nice...

Kinda like PaPa Joe's. A nice clean respectable place for which Pattaya is known for.

Your description of the three waters also sounds appropriate (Naklua Beach, Pattaya Beach, and Jomtien Beach).

[PattayaParent]

And all this time I thought it was Banglamung???

Nongprue to be pedantic, a sub district of Banglamung.

True, Pattaya and Jomtien are part of Nongprue.

Naklua or Banglamung aren't. They have their own sub districts. Along with Huai Yai, Na Jomtien, and Ban Amphur. That's why I said Banglamung. It covers the Greater Pattaya Area. The only place left out is Ban Sarey which is part of Sattahip.

Of course it also sounds close to 'Bang the moon' or to some people: 'B*tt &lt;deleted&gt;'.(stretching)

Banglamung can't be part of Nongprue because it is the bigger district that Pattaya and Jomtien are part of, and I'd say Nahklua is likely part of Banglamung district also as the Banglamung District Office is farther North than Nahklua is so I don't see how it would be mssed out

Napajo sounds like a small time ecstasy dealer in the Northern California wine country. Not bad though!

[surayu]

...as some of the posters like to say: " when in Rome..." so why not to call it " Chojona" ? (Chonburi/Naklua/Jomtien) i am sure many modern romans would love the sound of it

[moo9]

With all respect and sense for humor, why is there a need for a new name? Pattaya stays Pattaya!!!

Whites eyes, you can see (and so can BB1950 ) Did you know Napa is an Indian word?

The word 'napa' is of Indian derivation and has been variously translated as "grizzly bear," "house," "motherland" or "fish." Of the many explanations of the names's origin, the most plausible seems to be that it is derived from the Patwin word napo meaning house.

Napa-Jo (two words) is has a different meaning than Na-Pa-Jo (three words).

But I think I may have seen "Napa Jo" in the desert in northern Mexico. He looked like a rattlesnake back then.

You don't get it. This isn't about taking away anything, it's about adding something more.
