Bangkok - The City of Angels

We learn something new every day, and it never ceases to amaze.

The complete original name of Bangkok is actually:

Krung - thep - maha - nakorn - boworn - ratana - kosin - mahintar - ayudhya - amaha - dilok - pop - nopa - ratana - rajthani - burirom - udom - rajniwes - mahasat - arn - amorn - pimarn - avatar - satit - sakattiya - visanukam.

The longest place name in the world!

But Thai people call the city as Krung Thep which means 'The City Of Angels'. This capital city got it's present location when King Buddha Yodfa Chulalok (Rama I) moved it across the Chao Praya river.

I'm leaving on a jet plane...

My flight is booked. I guess I'm really going to check out the other side; you know to see if the grass is greener or more special or more potent.

*grin*

It's a little bit of a pity since both my close friends are back home in Asia, and travelling about. Well well, at least it's better late than never. I have been looking forward to this trip ever since I could remember. And I'm doing it, all on my own, sure puts a smile on my face that it isn't freakin impossible if you really want it. If you really want it hard enough.

...and my bags are packed, I'm ready to go....
