Never really heard anybody say it to be honest, So it's a difficult one for me to get my head round!

 

Difficult to say the least to attempt to say it on here...

 

 

I've got Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha - "Veech-eye"  "Sriv-ad-han-ah-pra-bah"

 

 

How the hell is it pronounced?

This.

It's actually nowhere near as hard as some people make out.

Sri Lankan names aren't hard to pronouince, because they don't have many (if any) sounds that we don't have in English - unlike say French or German languages.  Sri Lankan names just go on a long time, which makes them challenging - practice for ten minutes, and you'll get it off pat no problem.

What do Sri Lankan names have anything to do with it?

Well, now I've googled him, that's a very good point.  :blush:   I just assumed that very very long names (longer even than burnley's chairman) are usually Sri Lankan. :rolleyes:

I want to just call him Vichai its much simpler problem is I don't know how to pronounce that either

Are Nice biscuits pronounced Nice or Nice? I always pronounce it Nice, but my wife insists that it's Nice.

You don't need to pronounce his surname if you ever talk to him just his first name preceded by 'Khun'.

Khun means Mr/Mrs in Thai which is unisex and is always followed by just the first name.

KHUN VICHAI (CUN VISH-I)
