It either means you're a good brother or they're asking for for money. I don't see the word 'som' so that leads me to believe they're saying you're a good brother.

It means pay money
Re: what does bong loy mean?
If it's bong loy (លុយ) she's telling her friends you're a good catch cause you're paying for everything.
If it's bong louy (ឡូយ) means she thinks you're cool. Or conceited.

And if you hear 'pro-priun' she knows you're a butterfly.

Most likely she is saying "pay money." បង់ លុយ - bong loi
Pay is bong with a short o sound.
Listen to whether it is a short o sound or a long o sound. You can also tell by the situation. She is probably saying it when it is time to pay.

Re: what does bong loy mean?
can't loi also mean handsome/attractive/pretty?
Re: what does bong loy mean?
Yes. It can mean handsome.
Bong can mean older brother, or darling when talking to a boyfriend or husband.
In this situation, bong has a long o sound, as distinct from the short o sound of pay.
So, theoretically she could be saying, (my) darling is handsome.
You can tell by whether she says bong with a short o sound or a long o sound.
You can also tell by the situation. If she has just bought something, and wants someone to hand over the money, the meaning should be clear.
