Hello all, I mean what do the words 'Plai Laem' mean? If indeed they have a meaning!

Thanks

ps should this be in the Thai Language section?

Posted (edited)

I reckon something like the 'tip of the cape'.

ปลาย 'plai' - end , tip , point

แหลม 'laem' - cape, penisula

ps should this be in the Thai Language section?

Probably! :o

in terms of Baan Plai Laem near bohput beach??? well, it's at a tip of the island so mikes explaination above would make sense. :o

'End of the peninsula' or 'head of the cape' or something like that...

The first one sounds European and the second sounds more exotic - 'Head of the cape' it is then...

Thanks

Forgive me for sounding a bit dim! But is that 'point of the cape' or point of the peninsula? Or does it not matter???

a point sticks out, hence the term "point" . In the US a very famous point is Point Lobos which is a small piece of land jutting out from the tip of the bay.

Don't think it makes any difference as all are jutting out.
