:deal: Well, Asia has the longest name of a place in the world. Bangkok's capital is known as :(Krungthepmahanakorn Amornrattanakosin Mahintrayuthethaya Mahadilokpob Noparat Rajataniburirom Udomrajanivej Mahasatharn Amornpimarn Awatarnsatis Sakatadtiya Wisanukamprasit)Its hard to pronounce and to remember the official name of Bangkok ,

i am feeling giddy after i see the name of that place. why did the people wanna create such a long name? just to break world record??

what the...? you've got to be kidding me. who would name a place with something that long??

BTW welcome Ek-ek

:deal: No ,actually it have been long recorded in the Guiness book of world record that Bangkok's name was the longest in the world .Asians like to beat world record like Tallest Building in the world is in Malaysia and China's Shanghai would built much taller The Shanghai Financial Center (i hope it will be finish)but if you want to post Asian world's record breaker you could post it here.For a vast continents and almost four billion population.Its not uncommon to see record breaker. Examples are world's largest and smallest Flowering plants could be seen in Asia. Sawasdee !!!!Maki ,Why not visit Thailand because it is just a few hours away from Singapore.

I have visited Thailand before but it was in my elementary stage......so, i know nuts about what i was doing there :heh:

I don't agree that Asians like to break world records. I mean, I think that europeans like to break world records more than asians. remember malaysia had the tallest building. and thus, a country from europe when to build something soon to break malaysia's record. kiasu right??

:deal: Well, hello to maki and Nazza Its not about world record that I want to impart to the surfers and posters here in this site .I just want to let other people(Both Asians and non-Asians)that little bit of information that Asians like me wanted to impart to them . Not many people know about, That was Official Thai name of Bangkok and that Guiness book of world record was not even in exsistence when it was given a name .Pure luck !that name was held on for centuries.Since this is an Asia Finest Forum might as well include this information to the surfers.

I don't even want to read it :? it's too long ! im getting dizzy.

luckily it's called Bangkok now....... :heh: :deal:

Bangkok Is known also as "City of Angels".But you could used the shorten Thai Word "Krung Thep" referring to the long official words that they use.

why city of angels??

Bangkok with its 4,000 temples and beautiful local taxi's called Tuk-tuk and floating market place one could see Why it is called "City of Angels" .

i see.....
ok
done
finish
fine!

Bangkok had the longest name not only in Asia but all over the world!

^^^holy cow, you dug up this thread from over 2 years ago?

I'm really as not suprised..b/c most people there have very long surnames as well.

Heres the original name of the guy who created Laos (with title):

Somdetch Brhat-Anya Fa Ladhuraniya Sri Sadhana Kanayudha Maharaja Brhat Rajadharana Sri Chudhana Negara

AKA Somdetch Fa Ngum (shortened)

Well damn. Yeah, its long cuz they like to add all those titles, lol.

Damn, this person's parent must have nothing to do

Ek-ek you brought back a post you made 2 years ago

Yes! Are you ok?

No, Saigon in Vietnam has the longest name:

Sàigòn của tôi đẹp lắm mấy người có biết không hả thành phố này từng được gọi là hòn ngọc viễn đông hoặc ba lê của phương đông không có thành phố nào có thể sánh được với đô thị này và tôi yêu nó lắm mấy người có biết không.

There

guess you and that person's parents reallt got nothing to do

Are you speaking English?

um............i dont know
But damn, what many words are there in that name?

That's a sentence

I do not think it was Siagon that had the World's Longest Name?

I'll give anybody 1 dollar if they can pronounce that right by memory
