Senegalia thailandica is a species of climbing or sprawling shrub in the family Fabaceae.[4][3]

The liana or shrub has stout spiny stems, and the pods of the liana are slightly inflated and tightly curled, unlike many in the genus.[5] [6] [7]

It is found in Thailand and Cambodia, where it grows in permanently or seasonally freshwater-flooded forests. It is endemic to the Mekong Basin, and may occur in its delta in Vietnam.[8] It grows in the swamp forests and scrublands of the floodplains of Tonle Sap in central Cambodia, often accompanying the canopy trees of Barringtonia acutangula and Diospyros cambodiana.[6] It is found in a riverine forest on the Sangkae River to the northwest of Tonle Sap, as part of a diverse tall evergreen forest community.[8]

In Khmer the plant is known as (voër) ba:y dämnoëb, voër refers to lianas, ba:y dämnoëb="sticky rice", referring to the sticky thorns.[4] The young leaves are edible, usually served in salads, while the wood is used as firewood.
