Crazy And Funny Facts You Should Know!

May 15, 2020

Dear, readers.

 

Welcome to this installment of Crazy and Funny Facts You Should Know!

It has been an exciting week for me.

I enjoyed fun conversations with new and regular students  

I hope you are having a great day, and ready for the weekend.

I live in Thailand (formerly Siam). I have a fun fact about the country that
has become my second home.

So, without much further ado, did you know that;

Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, has another name. Its real name is one of the longest names of a place in the world, made up of Pali and Sanskrit root words: 

“Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit.”

What does this name mean?

It means,

“The City of Angels, Great City of Immortals, Magnificent City of the Nine Gems, Seat of the King, City of Royal Palaces, Home of Gods Incarnate, Erected by Visvakarman at Indra’s Behest.”


 

I hope you liked this edition.

I will back with more. Have a thrilling weekend.
