Naming convention

[edit]

I've corrected the way people's names were given in this article to correspond with naming conventions in the English speaking world. Basically, Mr. or Mrs. should be followed by the surname rather than the first name, so that is the correction I made. I understand that in Thai it is common to say "Khun" and the first name, but that doesn't really work right when converted to the English equivalent of Mr./Mrs./Miss Mantisia (talk) 14:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After I investigated this more it appears I was wrong. BBC and CNN both appear to use the first name in the way the creator of the article did. Therefore I have reverted my changes (except for one small grammatical change) and apologize for not double checking things before I went and changed them in the article.
