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

Language pair: Lao; Thai
