    Before Bangkok, what was the capital of Thailand?


    Matthew_07

    		Sukhothai which literally means "Dawn of Happiness" with an area of 6,596 sq.kms., is about 427 km (267 miles) north of Bangkok and was founded in 1238. Sukhothai was the capital of Thailand for approximately 120 years.

    		Well, Thailand actually had several capitals before Bangkok,
    so I see that my question was not precise enough.

    I was actually looking for another city, which was one of the world's largest in the 1600s-1700s.

    		After Ayutthaya fell in 1767 to the Burmese, Thonburi was the capital of Thailand for a brief period under King Taksin the Great.
