There are many ways to say sex in Thai. It will fill an entire chtpaer in a book. But for practical purposes, Thai people in the urban centers these days simply use the English word sex’ as somehow it makes it less vulgar. One common, middle-of-the-road expression can be /pai-nawn-duay-kan/ ???????????? (go to sleep together with the word go’ or /nawn/ being optional). A cute, very modern expression is /len-pee-pha-hom/ ???????????? (play the blanket ghost). There are many, many more. Slang words are very colorful and fast changing, such as /uep/ ???? (mount) or /summ/ ???? (perhaps like bang’), etc. The last two are a bit crude.The expression you mentioned pun pun’ is likely not that but boom boom’, which is a slang often used by commercial or semi-commercial sex, or in subculture of Thai-farang relationships.
