How Thai surnames work
Thai surnames are a modern invention, introduced by law only in 1913 under King Vajiravudh (Rama VI). By law each family name had to be unique, so Thai surnames are often long, elaborate and drawn from Sanskrit and Pali roots evoking prosperity, virtue or nature. In everyday life Thais are known and addressed by their given name; the surname is secondary.
