Thailand boasts the world's longest name: Krung-thep-maha-nakorn-boworn-ratana-kosin-mahintar-ayudhya-amaha-dilok-pop-nopa-ratana-rajthani-burirom-udom-rajniwes-mahasat-arn-amorn-pimarn-avatar-satit-sakattiya-visanukam. We sought a ruling from a Bangkok wordsmith, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, who said the correct spelling (163 letters) is: Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayuttha yamahadilokphopnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniw esmahasatharnamornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavi sanukamprasit. http://www.fun-with-words.com/longest_place_names.html Sep 05 06, 3:40 PM

The award for longest county name (14 letters) is a tie between Northumberland County, Pennsylvania and Northumberland County, Virginia. http://www.naco.org/Template.cfm?Section=Publications&template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=5510 Mar 09 09, 9:54 PM
