| The full official name of Bangkok is Krungthep mahanakhon Bovon Rattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokpop Noparatratchatani Burirom Udomratchanivetmahasathan Amompiman Avatarnsathit Sakkathattiyaavisnukamprasit, which comes out to 170 letters, and earns in longest place name in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records. The scholarly transliteration is even longer-175 letters- but fortunately, this tongue-twister boils down to a short from, Krungthep Mahanakhon. A rough translation of the full name: Great city of Angles, Abode of the Emerald Buddha, The invincible Realm, Grand Capital of the world Endowed with Nine Precious Games, Delightful City Abounding in Royal Palaces Which Resemble the Divine Living Places of the Reincamated Gods, City of God lndra |

Your post on MBK- you said it's a great place if you're looking for a thai artist to reproduce an old photograph. Do you know how much they charge, generally? Cheers. | shintarojon Wed May 24, 2006 11:04 UTC

Beautiful pic of an important monument! On the lighter side, remember what Confucius said: "Man who goes through airport sliding door sideways, is going to bangkok!" :D |
