Bangkok - thing u dont know

Try to say this in one breath.

Krungthepmahanakonbowornratanakosinmahintara
yudyayamahadiloponoparatanarajthaniburiro
mudomrajniwesmahasatarnamornpimarnava
tarsatitsakattiyavisanukamphrasit

That's how you say the name of Bangkok in Thai.
Krungthep is the short form. Good luck with the pronunciation.

Let me translate it in english, it goes like this:

Thelandofangelsthegreatcityofimmortalityvariousof
devinegemsthegreatangeliclandunconquerable
landofninenoblegemstheroyalcitythepleasantcapital
