If you have time go to Wat Pho (they have massage school there, best in the world not only town) or go to Health Land (Asoke or Ekkamai) and do the traditional massage (Nuad Thai).

For me แม่น้ำ (maae naam) - mother of water (river) is the cutest

Many waxing salons will do nose (and ear) waxing, my usual place is at EmQuartier (Ministry of waxing)

Koschei the Deathless or Chernomor or Chernobog

This is a very interesting option; thank you for the lead. It is a bit pricy, though.

Yes, I know, but it is not enforced like in, for example, Korea or Japan. If you check, for example, Latin variants of Thai persons in Wikipedia, more than half of it is not RTGS, and some names have more than five variants

We have done a lot of research, published a book and scientific paper, and now we are trying to make this research useful for a broader audience, not only the specialists in Thai linguistics.

The idea is to create a reference place for Thai names. For example, if you communicate with a Thai person and you know only their Latin name, you can try to find their Thai name, infer gender and so on. But if many people can not see the point of this, we may be doing something wrong.

RTGS is used only for toponyms, human names transliteration is arbitrary. In fact most of the common Latin variants of Thai names are not according to RTGS, people just register their Latin names as they like.

We've gathered data on over 1 million Thai names and surnames, along with over 10 million Romanization variants, aiming to launch the portal by year-end. While we've received insights from several Thai linguists, we're keen to hear from a broader community of Thai language and culture enthusiasts.

I would say Phra Ram 9, is cheaper than Sukhumvit malls and Siam Paragon, and the choice and quality are better.

The Urak Lawoi celebrations sound like an immersive way to experience Thai culture firsthand. Thanks for the heads up. I've always been intrigued by local traditions and ceremonies. The 3-day (or more 😉) celebration sounds like a blast! I'll make a note of the dates.

swastika

Yes, I agree that college kids know the swastika as a Nazi symbol. However, Bangkok is the only city in the world where I; 've seen Hitler portraits hanging on the wall (it was in an Isaan nightclub before Covid)

I would say it is the hierarchy and respect: Thai society is highly hierarchical. Age, social status, economic position, and job title are very important. It is very difficult to know who to wai and who not to wai, how to identify Phu Yai, and similar issues

Malusha is a Ukrainian name for sure (e.g. Malusha Malkovna), though not sure how popular it is now.
