Translation Of Bangkok's Official Name

[SomSak64]

A quick Google search didn't give me a good translation of Bangkok's official name (Krungthep MahaNakorn AmornRatanakosindra etc...) Can anyone help please?

Try this link

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).

Swift and right on target.

Thank you!

So this is incorrect then?.. or is it a matter of translation?

"Krungthep mahanakhon amon ratanakosin mahinthara ayuthaya mahadilok popnopparat ratchathani burirom udomratchaniwet mahasathan amonpiman avatansathit sakkathattiya witsanukamprasit" Bangkok ('Great City of Angels, Repository of Divine Gems, Great Land Unconquerable, Grand and Prominent Realm, Royal and Delightful Capital City Full of Nine Noble Gems, Highest Royal Dwelling and Grand Palace, Divine Shelter and Living Place of Reincarnated Spirits')
