| Certain occupations have certain terms and acronyms used in their vocabulary. Doctors, Lawyers, Plumbers all have their own language. Pattaya also has it's own set of terms that people, who have lived in Pattaya a long time use. Some of them make perfect sense some don't. Some of them I know the origin of and some I have no idea. So I will compile this list and add to it as I hear new terms. |
