Bit lost then on this one. Sorry.

Short of anyone else on the forum piping up, I think the only way you could solve this is if you hear it again and try to persuade the speaker to write it down in Thai. Then scan it and upload it to the forum.

I am pretty certain there is no such word, for the simple reason of the final L, there is no Thai word ends in the letter L, as a final constonant is it pronounced as an N.

Then again we hear Thais using such phrases as long lian for school.

I was sat ouside a bar one evening and a Thai was trying to sell me a , เรือไม้ it sounded to me like, leua mai, I kept asking myself what the heck is a new leua?

he kept repeating a leua, it was only when I asked to see it to he went round the corner and come back with one of those 3 feet high wooden model ships, I declined the offer.

It may well have been the Thai was mispronouncing a farang expression.

Are you sure it wasnt walaan for baldy?

Sorry this has got not only myself, but a few Thais I know stumped as well.
