Have you even heard of “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch“??? Well, I thought so! This is actually a village name, NO I’m not kidding!! This is the name of a small village on the island of Anglesey in Wales! It’s also spelt Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll and commonly known as Llanfair PG or Llanfairpwll!
If you think that this is the longest village/city name in the world, then you’re wrong!! The village mention above is good for the third place in the list of the longest village/city name in the world! Here below you can see the list…
1. With 163 letters: “Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokph
opnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharnamornphimarnav
atarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit” Or better knows as Bangkok!
2. With 92 letters: “Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturipukapihimaungaho
ronukupokaiwhenuaakitanarahu” in New-Zealand.
3. And as said above, With 58 letters: “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch”
And I thought Csokonyavisonta or Rinyaszentkiraly
in Hungary were complicated and long
Hmmm… Those are also long and complicated names, but not as mention above!
WoW, pretty unbelievable here…:)

I did not know Bangkok real name was that long no wonder they call it that instead. The city from New zealand I never knew they had names that long thier either. You should have listed what they mean also that would be nice to see why they are so long and if they mean anything.

New Zealand is a wonderful country with a lot of surprises. I am wondering somebody can pronounce that.
