Introduction
Phuket is a province in Thailand, on the southern end of the country. The largest island of the country, Phuket, is one of the pieces of the region, which also includes thirty-two other smaller islands around it. It is absolutely gorgeous and trendy, as it welcomes millions of tourists each year, making it somewhat infamous. However, the beautiful beaches with white sand, crystal clear blue water, and an incredible jungle area makes Phuket highly popular among travelers who rush to the island to spend a few weeks in paradise. So, if you have decided to go there and got inspired by Thailand’s rich history, you might consider naming your dog after someone from Phuket, or one of its many landmarks.
Phuket Dog Names in Pop Culture
Laila Boonyasak is a model, television actress and Thai film star. She has many credits to her name, the most well known being her role in the film, The Love of Siam. As a celebrity, she has championed the cause of World Refugee Day and is also a mentor on The Face Thailand. Our spotlight dog goes by the name of Layla, a slightly different spelling but a dog with a big heart as well.
One of the greatest blessings in life is to have a four-legged best friend. Dogs are precious, loving, loyal, and always by our side, bringing smiles to our faces and making a gloomy day a little less horrible. They make us grounded and do not let us get too crazy in our ambitions, as they remind us that there is someone at home waiting eagerly just to enjoy a little bit of sunshine and go for a relaxing walk. They do not care about the career ladder, money, or prestige. They give love, and that is the only thing they expect in return. One of these beloved dogs is the beautiful Boxer Layla, who became somewhat of a celebrity due to her lovely personality and the effect she leaves on her owner’s life.
Layla’s owner started as a blogger back in 2009. He was a singer, posting covers of popular songs as well as his own materials, and communicated with his subscribers on a daily basis. Then, he got Layla. He posted a video featuring the lovely eight-week-old puppy which blew up and went viral. Layla was a natural in front of the camera and her subscribers wanted more. They wanted to see her every day and be witness to her growth, which was pretty quick considering that she’s a Boxer. Layla’s owner went from just a regular guy to a parent of a famous dog, and he started posting more and more videos of their daily activities and later created a Facebook page and an Instagram profile for his lovely pupper.
Layla grew and became even more adorable (if that was even possible), and now has her own website with a dedicated blog section, as well as an online store where you can purchase Layla merch! Some of the regular videos on her channel have to do with dog food reviews, which is excellent for a new dog owner who may not know which bag of food to pick up in the pet store.
The adorable pup went through some hard times as well. Her companion Heidi sadly passed away in 2018, and she has been one lonely pupper ever since. However, her owner is considering getting her another Boxer friend, so Layla can have someone to play with at all times, and someone to speak dog to. In any case, her social media career seems to be growing steadily, and she shows no signs of stopping her online reign.
Phuket Dog Name Considerations
Finding a perfect name for a dog is not an easy task, but if you are a traveler or someone who is looking to roam the world one day, drawing inspiration from other cultures and wonderful places can be a perfect starting point. Phuket is a gorgeous place, so it can be a source of inspiration for your pupper’s new moniker. Bonus points if you are a proud owner of a Thai Bangkaew Dog, a fluffy cutie that deserves a fantastic name. So, where to begin?
First of all, you can go with the obvious and name your dog simply – Phuket. It is quite a unique name that is directly inspired by the dreamy island, however, if that is too obvious for you, you can opt for the name Siam, after Siam Beach which is a beautiful place close to the View Point on the island. Rawai is a small village in the southern part of the island Phuket and also a fantastic name for a gorgeous princess, and Patong is a town on the western coast of Phuket, famous for the party scene that many tourists frequent each year. Another fantastic choice is Pinky, after a Thai actress and singer Sawika Chaiyadech who has the cutest nickname ever.
