Just found this and they claim this is the correct name and spelling of the city we know as bangkok!

<deleted> or not, what do you think?

<deleted> or not?! :o

i don't know if you spelt it correctly, but if you didn't know that yet, all I can say is, "Welcome to Thailand!"

The capital city has one of the longest City names (if not THE longest).

I'm sure somebody has the exact translation handy.

OK, thanks all for the translations, but I thought these are the names of all the separate districts that now comprise BKK, for f*'s sake. (Ooooh, guess I have a few crankle wrinkles today.)

Ya, and based on several websites, it is the longest city name on this planet, Fluffles.

For bonus points,

Does anybody know what the nine noble gems are?

The noble gems are actually the attributes of buddha,

1. Araham : By constantly bearing in mind and repeatedly contemplating the Buddha's attribute of Araham (i.e, his being of the purest morality), one will clearly realize that one must strive hard to uphold a much higher moral standard.

2. Sammasambuddho : Also, by constantly bearing in mind and repeatedly contemplating the Buddha's attribute of Sammasambuddho (i.e, that he knows all there is to be known), one will clearly realize that, as one's moral standard gets higher, one must accordingly strive hard to be competent, intelligent and well-informed in whatever responsible position one might be.

3. Vijjicarana sampanno : Also, by constantly bearing in mind and repeatedly contemplating the Buddha's attribute of Vijjacarana sampanno (i.e. that he is endowed with all kinds of power and is invincible, one will not only have a high moral standard, intellect and competence in one's work, but will also clearly realize that one must have dauntless courage to face all dangers and ability to overcome all obstacles.

4. Sugato: Also, by constantly bearing in mind and repeatedly contemplating the Buddha's attribute of Sugato (i.e, if it is for the good of all beings, he goes to any place, at all times), one will clearly realize that it is one's duty to untiringly go to any place and take up any activity in accordance with one's capabilities in the interest of the people.

5. Lokavidu: Also, by constantly bearing in mind and repeatedly contemplating the Buddha's attribute of Lokavidu (i.e, that he knows all about the world and is wise as to the affairs of the world), one will clearly realize that in carrying out welfare and social activities, it is one's duty to try and under stand the traditions, habits and interests of the people.

6. Anuttaro purisa dammasarathi Also, by constantly bearing in mind and repeatedly contemplating the Buddha's attribute of Anuttaro purisa dammasarathi (i.e, that he is incomparable in taming beings), one will clearly realize that in carrying out welfare and social activities, one's duty to train the foolish to be wise and the wise to be ever wiser is very important.

7. Sattha deva manussanam : Also, by constantly bearing in mind and repeatedly contemplating the Buddha's attribute of Sattha deva manussanam (i.e. that he is the the Leader of men, devas and brahmas), one will clearly realize that in carrying out welfare and social activities, one must strive hard so as to gain the enthusiastic support of the majority of the people from all walks of life.

8. Buddho Also, by constantly bearing in mind and repeatedly contemplating the Buddha's attribute of Buddho (i.e, that he makes other understand the Truth most clearly), one will clearly realize that in carrying out welfare and social activities one will succeed only by making others see the truth not by using authority or by giving bribes in form of cash or kind or by promises of official positions.

9. Bhagava Also, by constantly bearing in mind and repeatedly contemplating the Buddha's attribute of Bhagava (i.e, that he is the Most Exalted One), one will clearly realize that to gain respect from others, it is very important for one to have dignity by being proper in one's dress, speech and behaviour.
