 The "Form of Address for Women Act 2008" mandates that married or divorced women can choose to use either "Nang" or "Nangsao" before their given names.It gives a married woman the right to change all her documents (ID card, driver's license, bank account) to include the title "Nangsao" before her given name.Today, in polite speech, Thais address each other by a given name, preceded by the courtesy title "khun", particularly with persons of higher status or public distinction.
