By the flavor profile and physical description you have provided, I believe you may be describing Jicama, a root "vegetable" native to Central America. It can be eaten raw or cooked and is a good source of vitamin C.
The Thai spelling is มันแกว (man kaew), which is reasonably close to your approximation.
Due to its popularity in many ethnic cuisines, Jicama can now be found in the produce section of many well-stocked supermarkets or ethnic food stores.
