What exactly is this? Why does this redirect to Bangkok? --Darth Deskana (talk page) 17:45, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


 * The longest place name in the world with 163 letters is Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphopnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharnamornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit. We know the place as Bangkok. The name of the city was given by King Rama 1, the founder of the city. He moved the capital of the country from Thonburi to a place called Bangkok at that time, and named the new capital as rungthepmahanakhorn. The name has been changed a little by King Rama 4 (King Mongkut) which has been used until now. The name Bangkok is still used in international context because it was more familiar to foreigners in the past. In Thai, the city is called Krungthep in short, and is written with an abbreviation sign after it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.213.95.82 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment: Are you sure on this spelling? Google yields zero results, but then again, maybe Google doesn't like individual search terms that long. Czj 23:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Surely if this was the wrong spelling then this page would still appear on the search results. Since it doesn't yet, you can probably assume its a google limitation. TheTramp 20:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It is the ceremonial name of Bangkok, which came into use during the reign of king Mongkut. More information at Unsupported_titles/Thai_name_of_Bangkok and here at the Royal Society of Thailand, and at Bangkok. The pronunciation is "grung-têep-má-hǎa-ná-kɔɔn à-mɔɔn-rát-dtà-ná-goo-sǐn má-hǐn-tá-raa-yút-tá-yaa má-hǎa-dì-lòk-póp nóp-pá-rát-râat-chá-taa-nii-buu-rii-rom ù-dom-râat-chá-ní-wêet-má-hǎa-sà-tǎan à-mɔɔn-pí-maan-à-wá-dtaan-sà-tìt sàk-gà-tát-dtì-yá-wít-sà-nú-gam-bprà-sìt" which you can actually hear in this audio. --77.173.90.33 (talk) 22:33, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
