Where is Thailand in the world

Where is Thailand in the world. Thailand is located in southeast Asia, has approximate 513,000 km2 (198,000 sq mi) surface area.
North border is by Laos and Burma, the east by Laos and Cambodia, the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and the west by the Andaman Sea and Burma.


The capital of Thailand is Bangkok but thai people call it "Krung Thep". However, Krung thep is shortname, Formal name of Krung Thep is "Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit" , and nobody call it by this name in his lifetime.

If you are foreigner, when you come to Thailand ,you should say "Bangkok" so that everybody (may be) can understand .However, nowadays Thai people barely say the word "Bangkok" anymore, they'd rather use "Krung Thep" instead.
