BANGKOK: -- The Surin man who made headlines last year for failing to live up to his name, Mr. Heangjobhappylife Makelifebetter, when he got arrested for petty theft, has decided to ditch his unique name.

Sanan Warinthrawat, the sheriff of Muang Surin district, said that Makelifebetter came into the district office on Tuesday to change his name back to Saen Soisoongnern, as given by his parents, after he had trouble spelling his own name, according to Daily News.

A snapshot of Makelifebetter's ID card went viral last year after he was arrested for allegedly trying to steal an iPhone 5 from a man at a basketball court, officially making him Thailand’s weirdest named criminal.

Could he have meant " HandJobsMakelifeBetter" ? Seems more logical.

Could he have meant " HandJobsMakelifeBetter" ? Seems more logical.

But he appears to have tugged more than he could handle.

Still can't beat the name of Mr. Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop arrested a couple of years ago in Wisconsin, USA.

Changed back to the original Somchai Prajingchoocachingpornbimbadooblingdingdong, I suppose. Easier for Thais to pronounce.

Quite normal. He changed his name to 'Makelifebetter' and waited, and waited...and when it didn't happen, he changed it back.

He could try a charmed name like Kennedy, or Shinawatra. Or Hitler, I understand the Fuhrer holds a strange fascination in Asia, which is odd, all but the Japanese, were earmarked for Axis colonial slavery, including the entire LOS population. That would certainly have madelifeworse.

Not really that odd. Another friendly fascist, they dig that <deleted>.
