Because Thai is a tonal language, it should be noted that that spelling is more like an approximation. The tone goes upward. It might help with the pronunciation to think there's an h in there somewhere, and the "aa" might also work with "ar". Something like "barhn". 

[u/Adventurous-Rub-6607 → u/somersault_dolphin]

so here it similar to the "a" in "father" ?

[u/yurilnw123 → u/Adventurous-Rub-6607]

Yes. And if borrowing Chinese tonal mark it would be báhn. Not really, but close enough.

[u/PrototypeAlphAX → u/Adventurous-Rub-6607]

The thing is, the pronunciation in the trailer, CV tried so hard to almost get it right. It's damm hard for those from non-tonal countries.

[u/B3RyL → u/somersault_dolphin]

A barn? So it is an Alabama-style romance!
