Worldwide, Palachai (Palachai 
, ปาลชัย , ปะละใจ ) is a very rare dominantly masculine, but uncommonly feminine first name. The forename Palachai is habitual in South-eastern Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is a very rare principally boy's, but scarcely girly name. More frequently, Palachai is the last name as well as the forename.
