Well, just to confuse the issue a little more; I live at a place called "Nagalaya" which translates to 'Abode of the Nagas', which are spirits of the waters, typically illustrated as snakes!

The Naga are also a mythical race of serpentine people who live under water.

Guess all that Dungeon & Dragons when I was younger has come to some use.

Nagalaya = Naga's Lair? That sounds so magical!

Btw, the malay word for dragon is naga.

And Shawn, does the local in Samui speaks Thai or their own dialect which I believe has very strong influence of the Pattani/Kelantan language due to their close vicinity.

I just noticed that we are getting a lot of newly discovered nepenthes out of Sumatera and other locations in Indonesia, could this have anything to do with the greater interest in the plants among the Indonesian?
