Some arrogant man on the forum who claimed to speak Thai kept telling me that Hua Hin is pronounced HWA heen.
Well I talk to some Thais and they all say that it is Hoo-ah! meaning head and hin meaning rock.
Still I notice many farang say HWA. Even websites!
Surely the Thais know their own language ?
Bizarre.

Hua Hin the english version
Hoo-ah Hin the proper thai way to say it I guess
Hwa-heen the street language? any way I picked it up
as "hwa-heen" and I usual use it, seems everyone understand it
I guess it like sawasdee, sometimes been shortend to "waddie"

What an idiot, still asking others, and still unable to speak for himself. I have 3 Thai people in thius room and they all confirm that I am saying it correctly, seeing as you have never heard me say it, how do you know I am incorrectly.in fact as someone who can't speak Thai, how would you even know if I was?
You don't, dumb ass.

If you read the Thai spelling it is HWA...there is no vowel between the 'H' character and the 'W' character.
Did you notice that when you read BJC?
No...I thought not.

Hmmmm....
There's a variety of dialects in Thailand, where the same thing is often pronounced, or said in different ways... kinda like in all countries.
So, maybe both are correct, just depending on who says it, and where they are from. Kinda like Kee-tua/kee-hok.
Possibility??

Precisely! R vs. L is classic example: Is it said 'Rin' on 'Lin'? Said 'arooy' or 'alooy'?
And, to the OP, it might not be so much what/how he pronounced it as it was what is the way you heard it. To wit: It's a trained ear that hears the Thai tonal language correctly. Question then becomes: How attuned are your ears?
