[Thookatha]

Okay, so I'm FOB and don't know what 'pak ee thoo' and 'pak kayang' is called in English. Can someone help me out, please? haha Thanks in advance.

'pak ee thoo' is Lemon Basil.

Don't remember what 'pak kayang' is. ^_^

THANK YOU. I actually did think that pak ee thoo was lemon basil too, but my dumb friend told me it wasn't so I eliminated it from the list! haha Thanks again for the confirm!

Thank you Anan!!!

I had to look up Pak Boong too, and he is right. It is commonly call water morning glory. The scientific name is Ipomoea aquatica. Search it on the web.
