สุวรรณภูมิ
Thai edit
Etymology edit
Borrowed from Sanskrit सुवर्णभूमि (suvarṇabhūmi, literally “golden land; land of gold”), from सुवर्ण (suvarṇa, “gold”) + भूमि (bhūmi, “land”), equivalent to Thai สุวรรณ (sù-wan, “gold”) + ภูมิ (puum, “land”). Compare Pali suvaṇṇabhūmi. Cognate with Khmer សុវណ្ណភូមិ (sownnɑɑphuumiʼ).
