What is this tree.

I bought two trees two years ago in a plant market they had set up near the elephant roundabout.
They sold them to me as lime. One was a lime but this one definitely turned out to be something different.
Has anyone seen this before. I tried a little to see what it tasted like. Happy to report it was not poisonous.
It tasted very guava like. So I suspected a Cherry Guava but looking at photos on the web it does not seem to have those leaves that are representative of guava at their base.

Its a Thai word about 50 letters long and SWMBO can not translate BUT she says you can eat the fruit.:rolleyes:
 
Thanks GL. Can you get Mrs GL to write it down and post the name for me. Well at least I am still curious, my damned father in law cut it down because ignorance is bliss. I will have to dig it up and move it if I will want it to survive. Apparently he was angry because it was not the lime as stated.
