There you go.

 

Nothing about UK. Nothing about the world. Nothing about English language. Nothing about forcing anything on anyone.

 

All about Thai definition. It really is that simple. I'm glad you know understand that.

No, you said that, and i repeated it. If you read the understanding about how Thai language defines the two words city and town as same, you will get a better understanding.

Muang is the name of the centre of the province. The town. Nai Muang refers to the central sub district within that town.

 

Bangkok, a city, known in its abbreviated Thai form as Krungthepmahanakorn is the city. "Maha" meaning large. Large town translating to City.

 

Just like Samut means sea and Maha Samut means Ocean.

 

I doubt anyone would call the Andaman Sea, an Ocean.

 

I'm not forcing UK or English on anyone. I'm explaining Thai language.

Which means you translate it to town, while I translate it to city. Just because large is in the combination, does not take away the double meaning of a Thai word, as Thai language are minimized to using the same words for many meanings.

I'm not showing off and have, in fact, been thanked for my information.

Yes, because you transfer your town version of translating and force it on people. Did you look up the standards of international meanings of city? I can see that you refrained from commenting that. Was it not according to you false view?

It's Thai language. It's plain and simple.

 

How many "Ket" do Buriram, Surin or Sissaket have?

 

I'll help you. It's none. That's because "Ket" is a district of a city. Only Bangkok has them.

Muang and Nai Muang are only found in "Jangwat" and "Ampher", not cities.

Still as this is an international forum, how was it regarding the international standards defining cities etc.? Still something you avoid like the plague, right?

That link wasn't defining cities. It was regarding poverty and population density. It also clearly stated a city can have varying populations depending on the how each country defines it.

 

Besides, this is about Thailand. It's how they define their own country that matters.

I kind of agree.

You can't define a city etc without looking in which country. 

A Chinese once told me "I come from a small village". The village has 100,000 inhabitants.  The cultural highlight is the (only) McDonald. For them, it's a village.

Denials, denials and denials....... It stands clear it is a measure of urbanization. Something that by size internationally defines the name of the place

 

But you continue deny, it suits you!
