Fat Thai Girls Have The Same Names?

[Neeranam]

Maybe someone can help me with a matter that has been puzzling me for years. In Thailand, I'd estimate that 70% or more women with their first initial 'O' or 'U' is overweight.

This is much higher than that of other initials. Is there any reason for this?

There is a higher proportion of beautiful ones with 'S' and 'T' . 'J' 'K' are pretty normal.

Any comments?

[Donz]

My gf's name starts with S, and your right on that one.

[Barney_the_Dinosaur]

Good obsevation

On the other hand.

I'm still amused by how many women here have porn somewhere in their names

[Barney_the_Dinosaur]

Urawan

Oraporn

[meadish_sweetball]

porn = พร = blessing

Although it is not ideal either, they would be better of transliterating it as 'pawn', because there is no 'r' sound in there.

Thats rich coming from you...

[Pink Mist]

a lot of tongs, nings, leks and nyetes, I think the research is flawed from the beginning

[Donz]

Yeah but im a lazy ass.

I make enough and will probaly work 6 days in the summer because thats when I make a killing.

And your pic is really nice by the way, even thought you may think im an ass

[Kanine]

I surely support 'S' bcoz my girlfriend's name is 'S', but i think 'P' & 'N' are also there!

The first time I came to Thailand, I landed in Phuket and was staying at Patong Beach near a shop called "Porn Shop". I kept going in and out of the shop, but I was too embarrased to ask the salesgirl where they kept the porn!

Hey stop highjacking the thread - it's serious issue

[britmaveric]

Know quite a few ladies with O starting their name and well they are quite small. (40kilo range)

[Unknown]

Never met any.

And the few there are not really in the statistics, not enough of them.

Well, where did you meet them so that we can have a opinion on the question?

[mark henry]

I new a thai girl called Bum!!!

[fxm88]

That's so wierd! I've also noticed that some of the fattest farangs have the same names e.g. Anders, Brian, David, Erik, John, Karl, Lars, Per, Peter, and William. I can't figure it out!

I've got a sister in law called Porn.... trust me .... she isn't

Any stats for the letter 'B' ?

Although it is not ideal either, they would be better of transliterating it as 'pawn', because there is no 'r' sound in there.

There's definitly no 'w' there, though, whereas there is an 'r' in the Thai spelling. Final '-orn' seems even more more appropriate where the Thai has both an 'r' and an 'n' in the spelling, as in the common final name element ภรณ์, pronounced the same as พร.

It is a mistake to try to correlate an English letter directly to a Thai letter. It is useful for learning and remembering but they shouldn't be seen as so rigid. Ror Rua, or ร can be an r sound, an n sound or even silent.

IMO, I think the confusion here comes from the fact that different English accents create different sounds for the same letter combinations. Porn spoken by a Brit will sound much the same as pawn spoken by an American. I can't think of any Thai word that ends with a distinct rn sound. Ror Rua at the end of a a word denotes an n sound.

The wifes name is Uraiwan (possibly the same as Orawan but lost in the translation)and shes not overweight......yet

My wifes name start with O and you are right in her case....

But you were wrong when I met her some years ago.....

If you speak Bangkok in German it is right in english it is not right.
