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…
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.
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..
Must be testicular implants!
FTW! *wipes tea off monitor*
lawlz
second!
“porn” is very common in Thai names; my mother’s doctor’s name when she fell ill while on holiday was Sridapon Porkporn.
Pork porn makes me hot
Pork in general makes me hot!
Me too. That’s why I married a policeman.
You sure it wasnt Sdrapon?
I’m sure it was a real one.
I have seen this name before – encountered a Thai police officer named Pornsak, and my first thought was “vice squad?”
Sounds kinda like a “Tell Tale Heart” sorta thing….You encounter a cop innocently named “Pornsak” and think “vice”? Do tell….
I bet they have some really hot nurses in this clinic:)
I’m sure it has nothing to do with the creepy looking statues of children in the front…
The statues in the front are sort of bait I guess XD
God…that’s worse than the gynecologist I knew named Dr. Slutsky.
Or someone I knew with the last name “Crapashetz”
What about the Russian slut Onya Backyabitch?
Well, if we’re stooping to High School humour: Has anybody seen Mike Hunt?
yeah, in Pornsak’s place.
Actually that reminds me of a joke. Sign seen in Gynaecologists office:
“The Doctor at your Cervix today will be Dr Schultz”
It’s even worse than the sign I once saw of a male gynecologist named Dr. Stiffy.
I’m totally not making that up.
I think I just fell in love with you.
Secretly attacked by flowered underpants painters.
The lady who was my chem prac partner in third year: Fatma Cok.
Is that bamboo, or are you happy to see me?
Both… With sum ice cream on my hairy chest. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
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.
person 1:Where is Dr. Pornsak’s office?
person 2: Phuket
person 1: Well you don’t have to be rude…
Sadly, it’s pronounced “pooket”. =(
Pornsak in swenglish would be pornthing ^^ since sak = thing in swedish
Gee, and I always thought the “thing,” for guys, was the thing that WASN’T the sack…
no I think they call that the one eyed wonder worm, trouser snake, hot salami…

Not even a floppy Salami
I think someone used to have that guys sign as their avatar on the thaivisa.com forums
The statues disturbe me more than the doc’s name.
“Porn” is very common in Thai names. It means “gift”.
That’s ironic! They usually make you pay for porn.
so it’s Dr. Giftsak and that’s why they have the weird looking children out front in the mismatched clothing.

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