I'm confused about Thai (people's) names. I understand they are written like Western names, with given name first and family name last. So the two brothers in Jam Loey Rak are Harin Rangsiman and Harit Rangsiman.
So far, so good. But then there are nicknames, like Aum and Aff. What are their real names? Aum Atichart and Aff Taksaorn are often-seen variants. So Atichart and Taksaorn look like family names (being written last). Like, William Gates's nickname is Bill, so his name is (most) often written as Bill Gates.
But Aum's and Aff's names can also be listed as Atichart Chumnanont and Taksaorn Paksucharoen. That makes it look like Atichart and Taksaorn are given names (being written first). But... Weren't they family names just now? What's the truth in all this?
Likewise, is Aom Phiyada's real name Akkrasenee Phiyada or Phiyada Akkrasenee?
As I said, I'm confused.
For Aom, her name is Phiyada Akkrasenee, first and last name.
Aum's real name is Atichart, his family name is Chumnanont.
Aff's real name is Taksaorn, her family name is Paksukcharoen.
For Thai celebrities, people usually call only their nickname and first name. As you see, Thai people have a long last name and hard to remember. (including me
