The full, ceremonial name forBangkokis the longest city name in the world.
Bangkok's full ceremonial name isKrungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit.This name, which is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest place name in the world, translates to "City of angels, the great city of immortals, magnificent city of the nine gems, the seat of the king, city of royal palaces, home of gods incarnate, erected by Vishvakarman at Indra's behest".While the city is colloquially known as Krung Thep (City of Angels), the full ceremonial name is a historical and symbolic phrase rather than a name to be used in daily conversation.
It's often shortened to "Krung Thep" by locals.
