Hi, sorry, didn't mean to disappear again. It's just been a bad week.
So, just for ridiculousness, which I love, this post is about Bangkok.
Bangkok is the most commonly known name for the capital of Thailand, but it has a longer ceremonial name:
Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit
Which translates to:
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 Vishnukarma.
I've got sources below if you want to learn more about everything, but I'm going to leave it at this. I'll probably have another post up before you finish figuring out how to pronounce the whole name of the city. If you do manage that, let me know and I'll send you a special kitten picture just for you. Or something.
See you soon.
