Funny and beautiful that same word has totally different meaning


Just want to share I went to a place in Laos called Pha Suam.

It is basically a beautiful waterfull forest, with fresh air, nice landscape, and nature atmosphere.

the thing is the word "Suam" in Loas means the wedding room (or something like that please feel free to correct)
but "Suam" in Thai means toilet.


This is how languages is beautiful, it just makes me smile :) a little funny.
and the place there "Pha Suam" is so beatiful.

I feel appreciated in every moment there.

Just to share, anyone wanna share some more on other languages, same word(pronounce), different meanings.

Thanks for sharing! we can always learn languages from a little to little.
Also Thanks to Zizzee.com they make me to reach there
And thanks to mylanguageexchange.com to let me share.

i feel full of happiness, just got back from there :-D

Best vacation trip of my life.
Thank you Thailand and my family back home, I couldn't believe how excited and welcomed i felt in my life. I went to visit for my first time and im 27, wow. I wish i went before. People and the life they have is well kept, they are very hard at work and up very early to make that Baht, the culture can be a little misunderstanding, but once you get involved and be respectful, you are more than welcomed with open hands, just don't piss off the wrong people. I have made it back home after a month and now know why being here is not the same....Thailand and That Panohm..wait for me..ill be back!
