I believe the official name of Bangkok is the longest city name in the world.

30 years of growing up in Bangkok and its the fist time i learn the origin of the name. Indeed 2mins well spent. Looking forward to more of these 2mins session.

So King Rama IV gave your people the full title of your capital.

I think most people like the name Bangkok because of the 80's song One Night In Bangkok. Plus it's easier to say, 555. But yes, Thai name is beautiful

OMG how to remember such a long name & in Thai?

[@westtxgreg]

Ohh she say the whole name of Bangkok by memory? Ridiculously long name

[@212Roger]

[@aphalo7889]
