The full name is ‘suan satarana nong buak hat’ – the first part means ‘garden public’ and the name: หนอง บวก หาด ‘nong buak hat’ can translate as ‘marsh improved [to] beach’ – this was probably a part of the city that collected all the water, so it became a park. The final sound is a ‘d’, but there ”is” a slight ‘r’ before it. The sign over the entrance has the English transliteration as “Hard.” Variations range from ‘hat,’ ‘haad,’ or ‘had.’ |
