Trevor25222 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 peeled coconut ปอก มะพร้าว ......pbawk I think that's the one I heard from the vendor ... "Pbawk mai?" Meaning: "Shall I peel it open?", ready to drink the water. It sounds a lot like ปลอก plawk (the fibre casing), as you claim ... but shouldn't that be เปลือก (husk) bpleuuak, or is plawk unique to coconuts?

R7BKK Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 ปอกมะพร้าว means to take the big fibrous husk off a coconut. I'm not Thai, so this is just an educated guess, but ปลอกมะพร้าว sounds like an error some Thais could possibly make when saying or writing this sentence. (Since a lot of times people don't pronounce the ล or ร in a consonant cluster like ปล, ปร, กล, etc., some Thais will over-correct and add an ล or ร into words that don't actually have them.) As TommyPhysicist says, เฉาะมะพร้าว is the term used for slicing the top off a young coconut so you can drink it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 ปอกมะพร้าว means to take the big fibrous husk off a coconut. This is correct. The OP appears to be a spelling error. ปอก - basically means to peel something. การปอก - peeling. เปลือกแอปเปิ้ล - apple peel. ปอกเปลือกแอปเปิ้ล - peel an apple. (หนัง) เปลือก - skin (also of animals - leather etc.) or bark of a fruit or a tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
