Interestingly, it's only known as Bangkok to westerners. In Thai it is known as Krung Thep , which roughly translates to 'City of Angels'. Bangkok (translating as 'village of wild plums').

The English translation of the long name is:

The city of angels, 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 an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn.

That’s more of a description rather than an actual name.

Most people know that Juliette was only 13 years old when she met Romeo.
But did you know the whole story takes place over a period of 4-5 days.
They meet, fall in love, marry, lose their virginity, murder someone and then both die in less than a week.
That’s quite a roller coaster ride for a 13 year old girl.
