00:00Next station, Na Na.
00:02Ever noticed how the BTS announcement for Na Na station gets a chuckle from the non-Thai
00:08passengers?
00:09Today, let's unpack the humor.
00:11In Thailand, Na Na honors Lake Na Na, a Thai-Indian politician and real estate mogul who developed
00:17a vibrant Na Na area, now known for its nightlife and entertainment similar to Patpong or Sai
00:23Cowboy.
00:24But for international visitors, Na Na means something different.
00:27In Spanish, it's grandma, and English speakers think of their nana or granny.
00:32In Chinese, it sounds like na na, meaning where where, giving it a playful guess where
00:37we are going, why?
00:38Some even say it reminds them of humming, making it sound more like a song than a station.
00:46So next time you're here, whether you're visiting your grandma or just na na, enjoy
00:51the smile it brings.
