Thapap naam

A word which I tried to find its meaning since afternoon. It was mentioned earlier by my regular coffeebar owner when we were talking about turtles and tortoises. He simply don't know its meaning in English so I asked him to write it in Thai alphabet instead so that I can ask the others what it means. Back at my place, I asked the staffs around and they also couldn't translate it in English. They even laughed at it...hahaha... Feeling unsatisfied and hungry for an answer, I brought the written word to the the Bookazine boookshop where I befriended one of the staff. He laughed it off at first and he couldn't translate it either. The funny thing is he looked for a book on animals just to look for the meaning but to no avail. In the end, I asked him to google it in Thai version. And wala, dats the pic above, Thapap naam. A kind of tortoise with no hump or shell(sort-of)...hahahaha..akhir nya..the moral of the whole story is - when there's a will, there's an answer..hahaha..kes majal..
