Bangkok is the capital city of Prathet Thai. The name on the right hand side is the full local name of this city. No doubt it is the longest multi-word place name in the world spelled in English according to wikipedia and Guinness Book of Records. In short, people locally say only Krungthep or Krungthep Mahanakorn.
Bangkok is the wealthiest and most populated city in Thailand as well as the 22nd most populated city in the world. Although Bangkok now has roughly 7 million registered inhabitants, the actual population is much higher, and including commuters from the surrounding areas, may reach an estimated 15 million people during the day time, making the city one of the most densely populated in the world.(from wikipedia)
And that's why most HT-users of Prathet Thai are highly more active in this region than others.
