Not quite sure what the name Buriram really means?
I believe it use to be called Muang Pae, but that was awhile ago.
Probably way off track here..... but "BURI' is often used as a word when tobacco is involved.

That sounds obviously and prosaically right. Certainly the Thai -buri is used as a suffix in many placenames (Lopburi, Inburi, Wichianburi etc). My question was actually prompted by a sign outside Ramkhamhaeng University Campus which says, if I remember correctly, "in honour of King Buriram". Romantic but wrong? I'll check the wording again next time I go past.

Indeed the meaning of Buriram is The City/Town of Happiness. Buri is the part that means City/Town and Ram is the Happy bit.
The word Buri meaning cigarette would actually be spelt Buhri.
Hope this helps

Ram actually is the by product of making rice the bit let over is called ram, nothing to do with happy! :)

You're thinking English, not Thai. The English letters 'ram' can represent several different Thai words, not just the one you quote.

Yes indeed. This is one of the reasons that I decided to learn how to read and write Thai.
รัมย์ = ram = Happy
รำ = ram = by product of rice.Or Thai dancing. This word is very unusual as there are 2 meanings but only one spelling and one pronunciation.
ราม = ram = a hero in classical Thai literature.
บุรี = buri = town/city
บุหรี่ = buhri = cigarette
Hope this helps.

so whats the meaning of bulilam??! sissies

I started this thread after seeing the stone sign outside Ramkhamhaeng University Campus. I went past it again today; the exact wording is
REGIONAL CAMPUS IN HONOUR HIS MAJESTY KING BUREERUM
The strange spelling is just an alternative transliteration. What I think has happened is that the sign has got garbled in the translation, and should read/mean
"Buriram Regional Campus in Honour of His Majesty the King"
I don't really think "King Bureerum" is even a fantasy, just a mistake in the translation.

Look at post #10 on this thread, and you'll see why I asked the question, Freshy. Really it's just the administration of Ramkhamhaeng University going a bit crazy!

I wondering about the name Muang pae? What it means and where it come fro me?
I heard 2 stories.
1 after a war in khorat in 1679 wined by a prince who later become Rama1 the first king in the Rama family. That time it was nothing here, he order people to build a town here.and named it Muang pae.
The time Rama5 was the king in Thailand. They change the name to Buriram.
Story 2.
Muang pae is an Cambodian name from the time Buriram belongs in the Khmer empire. But again the name was change to buriram.
Some one with fact about whats true and what Muang pae means?
Thanks
