  Bangkok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Bangkok, (in Thai กรุงเทพฯ, กรุงเทพมหานคร, or Krung Thep, Krung Thep Mahanakhon), population 8,538,610 (1990), is the capital and largest city of Thailand.
A capital was established at Thonburi (now part of Bangkok) on the west side of the river, before in 1782 King Rama I built a palace on the east bank and made Bangkok his capital, renaming it Krung Thep, meaning "city of angels".
Most Thais who do recall the full name do so as it was used in a popular song (กรุงเทพมหานคร/Krung Thep Mahanakhon by อัสนี-วสันต์ โชติกุล/Asanee-Wasan Chotikul) and will often recount it by recalling the song at the same time.

 Why "krung Thep" And Not "nakhon Thep"? - Thailand Forum
Krung is of Khmer origin and appears nowhere else in Thai town names.
I understand that "krung" is used only in relation to the capital city, whereas "nakhon" is an ordinary city.
Charoen Krung Rd., the "Road of the Prosperous [Capital] City), was built and named in the 1860's, also at a relative late stage.

 Bangkok : History,by Thaiways Magazine, a comprehensive guide to Thailand
Bangkok on the east bank known as Krung Thep or Phra Nakhon became a province and Thon Buri on the west bank became another province.
In 1971, the two provinces were merged under the name of Nakhon Luang Krung Thon Buri or Bangkok-Thon Buri Metropolis.
One year later, the form of local government in the metropolis was reorganized and the province obtained a new name as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon or popularly called Krung Thep for short.

 Bangkok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bangkok began as a small trading center and port community, called Bang Makok ("place of olive plums"), serving Ayutthaya, which was the capital of the nation (then known as Siam) until it fell to Burma in 1767.
A new capital was then established at Thonburi (now part of Bangkok) on the west side of the river, before King Rama I built his palace on the east bank in 1782 and renamed his city Krung Thep, meaning the "City of Angels".
The full name of the city is listed by Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest place name.

 About Bangkok - Advertising Agency A
The city incorporates Krung Thep, which is regarded as Bangkok proper, on the East bank of the river, and Thon Buri, which before 1971 was a separate city, on the river's West bank.
Bangkok was founded in 1782 when Chakri (1737–1809), on assuming the throne of Siam as Rama I, moved the capital from Thon Buri on the W bank of the river where it had been since 1767.
The city was named Krung Thep (City of Angels) and was planned around a network of canals so as to resemble the ancient capital of Ayutthaya.

 simply-thai.com-(Krung Thep) The real name for Bangkok
Bangkok (translating as 'village of wild plums') was the original site for the capital city and was located west of the Chao Phraya river (in modern day Thonburi).
For whatever reason, foreigners have never since caught up with the name change and the old name of Bangkok has stuck.
In recent years, Krung Thep/Bangkok has expanded at such a fast rate that it now sprawls over a huge mass of land on both the sides of the Chao Phraya and has engulfed the once independent Thonburi.
