Bangkok is the capital, largest urban area and primary city of Thailand. Known in Thai as Krung Thep Mahanakhon (meaning "City of the Deity")
for short, it was a small trading post at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River during the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It came to the forefront of
Siam when it was given the status as the capital city in 1768 after the burning of Ayutthaya. However, the current Rattanakosin Kingdom
did not begin until 1782 when the capital was moved across the river by Rama I after the death of King Taksin.
The Rattanakosin capital is now more formally called "Phra Nakhon", pertaining to the ancient boundaries in the metropolis' core and
the name Bangkok now incorporates the urban build-up since the 18th century which has its own public administration and governor.
