The Surin man who made headlines last year for failing to live up to his name, Mr. Heangjobhappylife Makelifebetter, when he got arrested for petty theft, has decided to ditch his unique name.
Sanan Warinthrawat, the sheriff of Muang Surin district, said that Makelifebetter came into the district office on Tuesday to change his name back to Saen Soisoongnern, as given by his parents, after he had trouble spelling his own name, according to Daily News.
A snapshot of Makelifebetter’s ID card went viral last year after he was arrested for allegedly trying to steal an iPhone 5 from a man at a basketball court, officially making him Thailand’s weirdest named criminal.
In case you didn’t know, heng, which he misspelled in English, means lucky in Thai.
Makelifebetter changed his name in the first place to improve his fortune, which obviously did not work.
