MiniMee, do you speak Thai? You actually transliterated Wan Ok (Awk) Phansa correctly. I've seen it (wrongly) transliterated as "Ow or Aw Phansa" just as "kok" (island) is often wrongly transliterated as "ko". So we often see "Ko Samet", "Ko Samui", "Ko Phi Phi" when it should be Kok Samet, Kok Samui, etc.
