The wife says it's called "saleeum" or "sadow".

Dear curtklay,

Thank you for your information. I've never heard of 'saleeum', but I have heard of 'sadao'. The bark and the flower sections of the plant in the photo certainly look to me like 'sadao', but I am wondering about the leaves. From checking, it seems that the leaves of the sadao plant are serrated, however most of the leaves in the photo aren't.

It could be that a couple of plants have been placed together and the sadao leaves aren't visible.

Thanks again for the information.

Dear billphillips,

I don't know what you mean by 'ga dao'. I have never heard of it.

If you could provide more information, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for your help.

I think you re calling it sadow. In thai it's pronounced "Gadow or kadow" it may be a local thing to your area to pronounce it with an "s"

Dear billphillips,

Thanks for your reply.

After researching, I found that this plant/tree (Neem tree in English) is called SADAO in Thai and KADAO in Laos.
