The headline reads: The culture of the designation of the surname
[The article is about the bestowing of the Shinawatra family name by the revered monk Phra Ajarn Man Purithadta of the Northeast. In the past, Thais had one or two syllable names, but no surname. Surnames were required in the reign of the Rama the 6th. This is another good example of the unusual nature of the Red Shirt publications--they both emphasize the socialist and revolutionary nature of the movement, while singling Thaksin out for being an elite person who should be respected.]
