Does anyone know the Cambodian word for kratom? Has anyone tried it.and if so where did you buy or find it I'm only interested in local sources-no mail order.

It is commonly found in regrowth hardwood hillsides all over the savannah country, ubiquitous I might say.
Arm yourself with a good botanical illustration and you will readily find it on nearly any hillside that charcoal burners frequent.

Thank you for that nemo. Does anyone know the Cambodian word for Kratom?

Maybe this can help you, Google: mitragyna speciosa kratom

Thanks sidewalker. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be found in any online dictionary. I do know one Cambodian knew a "kru khmai" who nicknamed it "opium's pal". In point of fact its chemical reactions with the brain are similar and Cambodians believe it is non-addictive Not that it matters I am not interested in recreational use of it; I need a strong painkiller.

Common as nettles in Wales, chap.
Print this likeness and ask any charcoal burning peasant.

I have interrogated my household staff and they assert that any local witch doctor will know this plant.
Among four of them they gave me 5 different names, feckless wretches that they are.

Again, thanks for the efforts. Unfortunately, the local kru khmer died a few years back and was replaced by a run of the mill health clinic. My Cambodian is good enough to ferret it out on my own-just thought I'd have a shot at saving some time.

I know, I tried also to find the Khmer translation

Yeah Sidewalker, it's a bitch. I could find the Thai and Vietnamese words, but not the Cambodian in spite of the praise of its quality.
