So What's Your Thai Name ?

[BlackArtemis]

Kwai Puak, Just Puak when we are not only around friends.

I know it means Albino Buffalo and that's the point.

After drinking with my Thai friends one night we were just going at and fuc_king around, and I believe my friend was getting up to go to the bathroom so I asked him "Bai doi paw mung law?" Going to a****ck your father? And I got an "Oi, Kwai Puak" back. I called him "ling dam" but couldn't stop laughing about the name and it stuck.

Now it's a joke about a comparison to the albino elephants. I may be a buffalo, but I am the best and most important buffalo!

Honestly, if this type of banter and bullshit bothers you or think that Thai don't give each other equally discouraging nicknames, it might be time to see about getting some thicker skin.

However, being called kwai by someone I don't know is going to get a totally different reaction.

Sorry. Perhaps I should have made that clear. I meant nickname. Perhaps I should start another thread.

Dont have a Thai nickname, but my wifes friends and family try to pronounce my name Chris, but comes out more like kiss.

My wife calls me moo pa from time to time which she said is jungle pig. Cheeky bugger.

Chris.

I've been called anaconda a few times

because you swallow the food without biting or because of your face?

g/f calls me Uan jan which i think corresponds to Fatty even though i am 6ft 90kg and rippling with muscle

i call her Naa Ling which is a play on the english expression Darling.............Naa = Face...........Ling = Monkey

I'm always mistaken for some Chinese bloke called Hei Yu.

My name is my "Christian" name shortened Thai style to the last syllable. Mostly with the Leung title which my wife encouraged the younger members of the family to use. A few will call me Sateve
