In Thai, the word “poo” means crab.

It’s actually pronounced bhoo, but is always spelled with a “p” ”¦
”¦ and I, for one, would have it no other way.

Indeed.

  1. This always amuses me also, there are quite a few humorous quirks in the Thai to English translation when it comes to food.
    Another favorite of mine is the word for pork is pronounced “Mooo” which I always thought should be the word for Beef?
