Land of smiles...

Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit

Or the real name for Bangkok, meaning:

The city of angels, the great city, the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city (of Ayuthaya) of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn

Offically the longest place name according to the Guinness Book of Records.

I thought of it as a pretty cool big city. Althought very touristy and everybody has but one goal, and that is to get the last Baht from the farangs (comes from the word foreigner, red.). Who can blame them, the first manner of income is tourism...

There are some nice temples, seen the world famous Standing Buddha, Lying Buddha and so on (I am such a credit to tourism). No pictures hahaha!!!

Looking forward to my journey starting tomorrow to Siam Riep, the city of Ankor Waht!!!

Keep y'all posted like always!!!

One Love,
