The Thais consider Kluai Khai and Pisang Mas to be the same variety.

Btw, if you guys want to follow standard romanization, then it is Kluai Khai (pronounced like glu~ai kai). But that is not to say that it is correct--if it was registered as a cultivar under a different romanization then you would need to use that spelling which it was registered as, but I don't know it. I think Glui Kai is a name that got passed on by one person who did not romanize it the standard way. And now, many banana growers are using it.
