The word Bangkok, which is used to spell the name of Bangkok or Rattanakosin at present, was the word used by the Christian bishops of Ayutthaya when writing to Bangkok every time they wrote a report to the headquarters in Paris. and has been used continuously up until the Rattanakosin period and to this day.
