Ok so I have been given a T-shirt here in Sydney by a Thai girl.

Simple dark blue cotton with the words in yellow stressed print "RAM NONTHAI"

The best I can come up with is Ram I know is dancing and Non is a province in Isaan.

But is always a good idea to know exactly what something means before wearing in public.

I remember getting confronted on Sukhumvit one day outside the Landmark by some obnoxious Amerikan for wearing a PNN T-shirt (Pentagon News Network"

Anyone!

Ram is the Dance dome by Muay Thai fighters before a bout, it is also a given male name meaning thunder or giant.

I think you are confusing non with NAN, Non Thai is a district in Korat province, not a province within itself

Did some research. It was originally San Thai which is a Khmer name meaning place to gather salt.

So I am guessing it related to maybe a muay thai gym perhaps.

In other words I will be wearing a target :boxing:

Update on definition from Chatty who works at one of my locals. I wore it on Christmas eve and asked her. She is from BKK but has lived in Sydney for 7 years.

So the RAM is the dance or can also mean thunder. Non Thai is in Nakhon Ratchasima but she believes it relates to a University in Bangkok but was not sure which one.
