ChristianPFC Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 During my holidays in Thailand, I came across a cinema and a shopping center and other buildings with the name แหลมทอง, which literally means golden peninsula/cape. Is there any meaning behind this name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 It's just a guess, but could this be the Thai version of Suvarnabhumi which also means "golden land" and the less commonly used Suvarnadvipa ("golden peninsula")? Both Sanskrit words refer to an area in South East Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
