What is the capital of Thailand?

The capital of Thailand is Bangkok.

1782, Rama I ordered to move the capital to Bangkok. He believes that the small trading port of this artificial island meets all the conditions of the capital, and it is easy to keep near the water, and the space is enough to accommodate the buildings across the former dynasty. So he named the city "Krung Theb", which means "city of angels", while foreigners called it "Bangkok", both of them. Because it has the longest place name in the world: Krungthep Mahanakhon Bovorn Rattanakosin Mahaintayuthaya Mahadilokopp Nopararatchathani Blirom Udomratchanivey Mahasathan Amornpiman Avatansatit Sakkhat-Tiya-Avislukamprasit.

Since the establishment of Kerry Dynasty, Bangkok has been an irreplaceable heart. After World War II, Thailand got rid of the shackles of Germany and Japan and turned to form an alliance with the United States. Coupled with the economic development promoted by the Vietnam War, Bangkok has made rapid progress, and its population has increased to more than 7 million in this 6,000 square kilometer land. Government agencies, embassies, major enterprises at home and abroad gather here, and more than 90% cars are registered here. Skyscrapers have formed a new sky in Bangkok.
