meadish_sweetball Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 hi everyone...there's a very common plant in thailand called pak kring / pak king. does anyone know the english name of this plant? many thanks sbk's guess is good - ginger is the only one I am familiar with that has a name resembling what you wrote. Ginger is ขิง in Thai. But there may well be others. Transcribed Thai without tone indications makes it very difficult to guess unless one is a native speaker - the second word could theoretically be written in at least 30 different ways. If you could give the Thai spelling I'd be able to answer within a minute... a picture or a description of its features, or how it is used, would also help.

eefoo Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Personally I've never heard of 'king' (ginger) being prefixed with 'pak' (vegetable) before in Thailand. I have no other suggestions to offer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Me neither but that was the only one I could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaojao Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) hmmmm...i don't think it's ginger...i asked the speaker again who says "it's like peking" which left me completely baffled hahaha...and it's a green vegetable. maybe i'll try to get him to write it in thai and post it here again thanks for helping everyone EDIT : peking as in beijing Edited November 2, 2007 by khaojao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
