Suwannakij is a surname of Thai origin. Its correct pronunciation is /suː.'wʌn.nʌ.kɪdʒ/. The first syllable "suu" is stressed, and the "u" sound is long. The following syllables "wan" and "na" have the "a" sound in between "cat" and "car". The final syllable "kij" roughly corresponds to English "kid" but with a soft "j" sound at the end. In Thai, the word is spelled สุวรรณกิจ.
