GIVE ME A 'H ....'

I'd hate to be a cheerleader for the school that one of my interviewees this afternoon went to - it's got no less than 30 characters. Take a deep breath .. ready ... it's Hatyaiwitayalaisomboonkunkanya School.
On the subject of long names - many Thai people have incredibly long surnames; around 20 or 25 letters is not uncommon. It also explains why many are known only their nicknames like Nok, Nhoi, Ploy, Tan, Nee, Jeab and Oad.
