Bangkok’s ceremonial name

Bangkok has a long ceremonial name in Thai; Guinness World Records gives one Latin transliteration as 168 letters and records it as the longest place name. In ordinary and official usage, the capital is called Krung Thep Maha Nakhon or Bangkok. The exact letter count depends on the transliteration and whether word breaks are counted.
