Salvia Officinalis is just plain culinary garden sage used for cooking with fatty meats such as pork.

[mpdkorat]

My English Thai dictionary shows Sage as พืชจําพวกสะระแหน่ sà-rá-nàe which is mint/peppermint not sage so that didn't help much.

Yah Han Ngoo หญ้าหางงู (Snake tail grass)seems to be some sort of regional grass from Chiang Rai. Not having much luck here guys.

Some things just don't grow around here and so the Thais have no words for it. You have to go to some Farang store or bring it back with you from home. Examples would be Krachai - a Thai root spice that is related to khing and kha (ginger and galangal respectively). Indeed we only say galangal because we've borrowed that word from Indonesia or something. Why would wee have a name for something we don't know, grow, eat, or ever see ?? Same with apple or beet, the Thais just call it by its Western name. And just by odd chance they import apples, and then grow beets up north in the cold season. A rare case where you have our words used for our things. But no Thai equivalents. You are likely S.O.L.

If that is the case thanks. Explains why it has been so difficult to get any reference to it. Thais do seem to use sage extract for cosmetic oils though, but not for making Pork Pies or sausages.

As I know, In Bangkok and Cooking Programme (TV) call Sage as "sage" เซจ or ใบเซจ"Bai Sage" (Bai ใบ = leaf)

[meadish_sweetball]

เซจ ออกเสียง แบบ 'เซ๊ด' ไหมครับ (เสียงตรีหรือเปล่าครับ)

[BambinA]

เสียง เอก ค่ะ

The tone is like เสร็จ sèt (finish ; complete ; succeed ) but longer than the word เสร็จ (long as "beige" / "crusade" )

[withnail]

I found it online as เซ็จ and mainly in reference to extracts used in health/beauty products. My guess is that the few Thai people that would regularly say the word probably are aware of the correct English pronunciation even though as Meadish points out the Thai spelling makes it come out as Sed. I could be wrong.

Edit: and it appears that indeed I am

I find this web site to be helpful in finding Thai names for various spices. Unfortunately, it doesn't give the Thai name for sage but might be useful to you in the future. I did notice that Lotus (Khonkean) has dry sage available.

Parsley,chervil, dill ( on Onnut market they call it pakchee Lao ) and also sometimes for a vegetable, looking like small celery??

Salvia, is that not the 'legal' alternative to pot?

Your thinking of salvia divinorum. Certainly a euphoria-inducing herb with hallucinogenic properties - and in a lot of places it is 'legal" - but calling it an alternative to pot is a big stretch. Pot can give people a pleasant buzz for over a relatively long period of time, salvia makes you completely disassociate and trip balls for like 10mins and brings you right back with pretty much no lingering effect. Same genus as the traditional sage spice though.
