How the heck can this guy have a surname like this. MALAYTHONG

If it is his firstname, then ok, he asked for it .. but it is his surname! What did his parents do?

Looks Thai or Malay right?

 

[middaydog]

he is from Loas, actually it should also read Malai_thong,means golden bouquet

Ooo .. thank you for the explanation .. but it still has to be a very hard surname to live with if you come to Singapore or Malaysia.

Best surname in the world? Perhaps the Ango-Saxon surname King and the Chinese surname Wang (or Ong) 王 (also meaning king).

Huat is a common given name, but not a surname.
