Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.
It wouldn't all fit under my avatar, and I've met few Thai's who can say it all.
Translated it means: "The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukam".
And yes I did have to google that.
Thankfully Thai's just call it "Krung Thep", which translates to "The city of angels" (Coincidentally).
Everybody else just calls it Bangkok though

looks like being Tanzania now. You could make a pilgrimage to Firoz Kassam's birthplace.  |
