I used to love that song.

BTW, did you know the real, full name of Bangkok, which in Thailand is called Krung Thep (Bangkok is a district and historical center of Krung Thep) is:

Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayutthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udom Ratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanu Kamprasit, which means

"The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city 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 Vishnukam."

My son's current favorite bit of trivia (not that he can say the whole name, but he loves to try to mumble through it).

/back to the coup.
