This is the world's longest name found in Thailand ever declared by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It's not surprising to find that not only local people but also foreigners could hardly memorise this long place name. It is later referred to the local as Krung Thep, or in English it translates Jewelled City of the God Indra. This is a qualified Thai name for Bangkok city, as the above long name describes Bangkok as a city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Visnukarn (Vishwakarma, the builder for the Hindu Gods.)
This hilariously long place name is a combination of the words krungthep mahanakorn (The great city of angels), amorn rattanakosin mahintara yutthaya mahadilok phop (the supreme unconqueralble land of the great immortal divinity (Indra), noparat rajathani burirom (the royal capital of nine noble gems, the pleasant city), udomrajaniwes mahasatharn (with plenty of grand royal palaces), amorn phimarn avatarnsathit (and divine paradises for the reincarnated deity [Vishnu] ), sakkatattiya visanukam prasit (given by Indra and created by the god of crafting [Visnukarma] ). This is a name given by King Rama I, the founder of the city in a celebration to the new capital after Sukhothai, Thonburi and Ayudhaya 219 years ago. But, it was said by Theppitak Karoonboonyanan that the 163-letter of Krung¬thep¬maha¬nakorn¬amorn¬ratana¬kosin¬mahintar¬ayutthay¬amaha¬dilok¬phop¬noppa¬ratrajathani¬burirom¬udom¬raj-aniwes¬mahasat¬harn¬amorn¬phimarn¬avatarn¬sathit¬sakkattiya¬visanukamprasit will be its appropriate correct spelling.

Both of these domain names were generated with all its characters in the same alphabet.
