AFTER a year, two months and a week, it is time to say farewell to Krungthepmahanakhon Amonratankosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphob Nophosin Ratchathaniburirom Udomrathaniwetmahasa Amonphiman Awatansathit Sakkathatiya Witsanukamprasit.
Yes, that’s the official name for Bangkok. Can’t blame the Thais for truncating it to just Krungthep (City of Angels) and ignoring the rest which, by the way, cover these meanings: Great City of the Immortals, Magnificent City of the Nine Gems, Seat of the Great King, City of the Royal Abodes, Home of the Gods Incarnate, Built by Visvakarman at Indra’s Behest.
