I've been to Taumata, I was born & raised not far away from there.

I can't even imagine trying to pronounce these. My tongue would roll out of my mouth and onto my feet.

I love this part about Bangkok:

Quote:
The full ceremonial name of the city given by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke, and later edited by King Mongkut, is Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit
That sentence should end with "But locals just call it "Bob".

I wonder what the name was before King Mongkut edited it? And does anyone else find the name "King Mongkut" funny - in an entirely I-swear-I'm-not-laughing-at-your-majestic-king way?

I've been to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch - probably still have pictures sitting in a box somewhere. It was a quaint little place that made a lot of tourism money off its name

Hearing a local pronounce it, it actually is very musical to the ears. Just lots and lots and lots and lots of syllables!

Nose flute....tee hee.
