Thailand is known for its many delicious foods, including its national dish Pad Thai. What is the name of this nation's capital?

In 1782, Bangkok became the capital of Thailand (known as Siam at the time). Thai people generally call the capital city Krung Thep, which is only the first part of its extremely long official name which means, "the City of Gods, the Great City, the Residence of the Emerald Buddha, the Impregnable City (of Ayutthaya) of God Indra, the Grand Capital of the World Endowed with Nine Precious Gems, the Happy City Abounding in Enormous Royal Palaces Which Resemble the Heavenly Abode Wherein Dwell the Reincarnated Gods, a City Given by Indra and Built by Vishnukarm."
