    Thailand's romanization started more than 100 years ago during King Rama VI who was educated in English boarding school for several years when he was till a prince. The system was later standardized by Royal Society of Thailand and all official road signs/places adopt this system. Roman alphabets are not confined only to English/American languages. Almost all European languages adopt Roman alphabets as their main writing system except Greece and Russia. Some non-European countries also do likewise including Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Even though most non-European countries have their own native writing system, they still adopt romanization to help foreigners recognize and pronounce road/place names including Thailand, China (pinyin) and Japan (romaji). Westerners or those who learn English as a second language must accept the fact that those romanized words are not necessarily pronounced like English/American common pronunciation. It is easy to adapt once you know how the native pronounce it. In Thailand, "PH" is pronounced aspirated P (people) and the most well-known is "Phuket" while "P" is pronounced non-aspirated P (papa). "KH" is pronounced like "King" such as "Ramkhamhaeng" while "K" is pronounced like "Gong" such as "Krungthep". "TH" is pronounced aspirated T such as "Take" and the most well-known is "Thai" while T is pronounced non-aspirated T "one ton", the most well-known is "tuk tuk". "CH" is pronounced as "J" (jar) such as Chatuchak. It can also be pronounced as "CH" (chat) such as Chang beer.

    Wat Pho is an old temple south of the Grand Palace. It is also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha rebuilt by King Rama III in 1832. The King also decreed that traditional Thai massage and traditional medicine be inscribed on stone tablets to disseminate the knowledge to the general public. The famous Thai spa and massage are believed to originate from such stone inscription. King Rama III was also known as Merchant Prince because when he was still a prince he conducted trade with China and asked the ship captain to bring back stone sculptures such as Chinese deities, mythical beasts as stabilizing balance in the ship's belly. These stone sculptures are now commonly seen at Wat Pho, Wat Arun and the Grand Palace. When President Obama had only one day to tour a Thai temple, US Embassy recommended this temple due to its unique architecture, history and beautiful reclining Buddha.
    Note all three famous temples: Wat Phra Kaew in the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun, there are two Yaksa (Hindu/Buddhist giant deity) Guardians at the entrance of the temple.

    Bangkok is an old name since Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam. The exact history is unknown but there are several speculations. From Thai sources, it was believed that the area around the grand palace was full of Makok trees and thus when people settled there, it was called Bangmakok community. Another speculation was the Chao Phraya river at that area was so curved and bended creating a few islands, thus it was called Bangkoh (bang=community, koh=island). Later an Ayutthaya king decreed a straight canal be built to bypass the bended river section to shorten the distance. With years gone by the canal was naturally enlarged due to easier flow and became the present section of Chao Phraya river while the bended curve of the old section becomes 2 canals, Bangkoknoi and Bangkokyai on the Thonburi side. In fact, Wat Arun was originally named Wat Bangmakok before King Taksin (then Ayutthaya official) led some troops to escape the Burmese siege of Ayutthaya and arrived at Wat Bangkmakok at dawn, thus the temple was renamed Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). With Thai tendency to shorten names when time gone by, Bangmakok was later shortened to Bangkok.
    In western maps and documents, Bangkok was written in various ways such as Bancoc, Bancok, Banckok, Bankoc, Banckock, Bangok, Bancocq, Bancock. The present "Bangkok" spelling was used by French Catholic chief priest in Siam who wrote to Paris using such spelling. When King Rama IV wrote to western powers in English, "Bangkok" was the spelling he used. Since then "Bangkok" is the official "Latin" spelling of the Thai capital.
    Here is the official full name of Bangkok.
    Krungthep Mahanakorn Amorn Rattanakosin Mahintra Yuttaya Mahadilokpop Noparat Burirom Udom Rachnivet Mahasathan Amornpimarn Avartarnsathit Sakkatiya Witsanukamprasit
    Here is my rough translation. Bangkok Metropolis, the royal capital of Ratanakosin dynasty following Ayutthaya dynasty, a grand palace resided by God King.
    But most Thais just call short form as "Krungthep", land of deity.

    Bangkok's Grand Palace was built in the style of Ayutthaya Grand Palace with a royal temple inside reserved only for the King and relatives to hold Buddhist ceremony. Since the temple is in the Grand Palace there is no monk living in the temple. It is only the functional temple in Thailand that has no monk resides in. Monks from temples nearby are usually invited when the King performs Buddhist ceremony. It is a tradition that any novice who passes the highest Pali Grade 9 language proficiency will be royally patronaged and ordained into monkhood in this Emerald Buddha temple. Pali is the language spoken during the Buddha's era. Buddhist Dharma was originally transmitted by Pali oral tradition (still practiced even today when monks chant Pali sutra every morning and evening) but later transcribed into Pali alphabets, similar to Sanskrit which is the main language of Hinduism. There is a nationwide exam conducted annually to assess Pali proficiency and few novices/monks pass Grade 9 language each year, normally fewer than 10. So you can imagine how hard it is.
    At the Grand Palace, you can see Garudas (mythical flying deity) grab Nagas (mythical serpent-like deity living underworld). They are sworn mortal enemies in Hindu and Buddhist legends. However, both are God Vishnu's mounts. When travelling, God Vishnu mounts on Garuda. When resting in the sea, God Vishnu lays on bed transformed from Naga's body. Garuda is a sacred deity in Thailand and Indonesia. Thus Indonesia National Airlines is "Garuda" while Thailand's official emblem is Garuda which is affixed in front of official paper and shown on Royal Announcements on Thai TVs. Naga is sacred deity in Thailand and Laos as protector of the Lord Buddha. Temples in the Thailand's North and Laos often feature 2 Nagas at the front leading the steps into the temple. Standalone Naga is featured prominently along Mekong River on both sides of Thailand and Laos as well.
    Here is the full name of Bangkok.
    Krungthep Mahanakorn Amorn Rattanakosin Mahintra Yuttaya Mahadilokpop Noparat Burirom Udom Rachnivet Mahasathan Amornpimarn Avartarnsathit Sakkatiya Witsanukamprasit
