Only foreigners call Thailandโs capital city is Bangkok. In Thai, its real name is Krung Thep.
But, even thatโs a shortened version of the cityโs full name: The offical name of Bangkok is one of the longest names in the world!
Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom. It's a tongue twister hahaha!!
