What it is
Shared with standard Thai, but in this city 'pratu' is a place name first: five gates, and everyone knows which one you mean.
Root
ประตู pratu ← Khmer ទ្វារ / Sanskrit dvāra by way of Khmer pratu; the same word in both registers, but in Chiang Mai it means one of five specific places before it means a door.
