Bangkoks

/ˈbæŋ.kɑːks/ noun

Definition

Plural of Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, or referring to multiple things associated with Bangkok.

Etymology

Bangkok comes from Thai 'Krung Thep' meaning 'City of Angels,' but the European name likely derives from 'Ban Mak' (village of plums) or a combination of village names. The English plural simply adds -s.

Kelly Says

Bangkok's name to locals is actually Krung Thep Mahanakhon, one of the longest city names in the world at 169 letters—the 'Bangkok' we use is what European traders nicknamed it!
