    Must be testicular implants!

  2. wd says:

    second!

  3. Tore says:

    “porn” is very common in Thai names; my mother’s doctor’s name when she fell ill while on holiday was Sridapon Porkporn.

  4. ObscureWittyReference says:

    I have seen this name before – encountered a Thai police officer named Pornsak, and my first thought was “vice squad?”

    • EtymologicalDisaster says:

      Sounds kinda like a “Tell Tale Heart” sorta thing….You encounter a cop innocently named “Pornsak” and think “vice”? Do tell….

  5. фдуч_шяь says:

    I bet they have some really hot nurses in this clinic:)

  6. thedeebo says:

    I’m sure it has nothing to do with the creepy looking statues of children in the front…

  7. puppatoons says:

    God…that’s worse than the gynecologist I knew named Dr. Slutsky.

  8. PoodleGroomer says:

    Secretly attacked by flowered underpants painters.

  9. PoodleGroomer says:

    Is that bamboo, or are you happy to see me?

  10. Lara says:

    this is in Phuket Thailand. I’ve actually got an older version of the same sign from 2004 when i went there myself! had a giggle when i saw it again.

  11. OHara says:

    Pornsak in swenglish would be pornthing ^^ since sak = thing in swedish

    • JohnB says:

      Gee, and I always thought the “thing,” for guys, was the thing that WASN’T the sack…

      • psycho says:

        no I think they call that the one eyed wonder worm, trouser snake, hot salami…

        • JohnB says:

          True story: I was working in a supermarket deli (my first career) and a woman asked if she could try a piece of the hard salami. My co-worker, a surly fellow not known for his customer relations skills, said, “What, you never had hard salami before?!” She replied, “Well, sure. But I never had YOURS.” The lady initially had no idea what she had just said, but when I doubled over with laughter (and even my surly co-worker grinned broadly), she got very red and left without having had any of our salamis…

  12. Gabe_b says:

    I think someone used to have that guys sign as their avatar on the thaivisa.com forums

  13. daji says:

    The statues disturbe me more than the doc’s name.

  14. David says:

    “Porn” is very common in Thai names. It means “gift”.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      That’s ironic! They usually make you pay for porn.

    • psycho says:

      so it’s Dr. Giftsak and that’s why they have the weird looking children out front in the mismatched clothing.

    • ST says:

      Also it must be noted that the r is not there in Thai, it should really be poon, but for some reason a lot of superfluous r’s are put in in transcriptions. In Thai you can have an r sound only at the start of a syllable.

  15. chococat says:

    wow–I’ve been there–Patong Beach, Phuket.

    I actually have a pic of my husband in front of that sign. I thought we were the only ones who found it entertaining. “Dr Pornsak clinic and room for rent” is what it said when we were there. thot that a bit suspicious..

  16. Why do you care? says:

    Wow, that’s even better than the ear-nose-throat Dr named “Pickit”. He acted shocked when my mother made a joke about it, too.

  17. Jx says:

    nothing wrong really. We have a Chinese TV host from Thailand here in Singapore called Pornsak.
