Yes, Kung = Goong. I guess we all have our ways of trying to spell Thai words and names with English letters. To me, Kung rhymes with lung, but Goong sounds like soon, which is a lot closer to the sound of her name. I was totally at sea with pronunciation of Thai when I had to depend on transliteration. When I learned the basics of reading Thai, it all started to make much more sense.
I think her picture on the Orient website doesn't do her justice. She looks a bit tense in that photo, kind of how she looked when she was pissing around at the start of our sessions. She looked a whole lot more beautiful when I was fkkking her, but maybe it was just my perception at the time.

Sure, except that all the newbies will go to Orient's Website and not see Goong but Kung. I live in Thailand so I know the sound of a Shrimp. but to someone not in Thailand it may be difficult

thailien, NicFrenchy,,,
I actually think "Goong " is the better transliteration,,,
Near all of us farlang have trouble with not expiring after a "k " sound. Hence the now popular spelling for Chicken is Gai rather than Kai.
Now all we need to do is tell the Thai's

This should be in the language section. Actually, Thai language does not have the the "G" sound. They actually transliterate some G words with a "y" sound. Take for instance, German, which is "yer-man" in Thai, and Belgium which is "bel-yiam". You may say "Goong" but they will still pronounce it differently from you, and of course correctly in Thai.

Of course you're right, it should be in the language section, but, just not to confuse the Newbies: bkkz, I think you mean, the "J" sound (or the J sound we call the soft-G?)
However, the Thai's do have the J sound. The letter "Jor-Jahn" which you find in such common words as "ja" (จะ = shall) or jum (จํา = remember) or "jaaaaaaaah"...
Honestly, I don't know why they refuse to pronounce that J sound and substitute a Y when they pronounce foreign words that have entered their language, such as German (as you point out), Begium, jam, jelly, etc.... Yumpin Yimini, I thought it had to do with a Viking explorer who must have arrived in ancient Siam and tried to teach Olde English, not having another career opportunity to support his new Thai girlfriend!
In any event, NicFrenchy points out that the girl's name is spelled Kung on the website, and though I too disagree with that transliteration, that's how interested gentlemen will know who she is!
