    The etymology of the name Bangkok (บางกอก, pronounced in Thai as [bāːŋ kɔ̀ːk]) is unclear. Bang is the Central Thai name for a town situated on a riverbank. The name may have been derived from Bang Ko (บางเกาะ), ko meaning "island", a reference to the area's landscape which was carved by rivers and canals.[5] Another theory speculates that it is shortened from Bang Makok (บางมะกอก), makok being the name of Spondias pinnata, a plant bearing olive-like fruit. This is supported by the fact that Wat Arun, a historic temple in the area, used to be named Wat Makok.[6] Officially, however, the town was known as Thonburi Si Mahasamut (from Pali and Sanskrit, lit. city of treasures gracing the ocean), according to Ayutthaya chronicles.[7] Bangkok was likely a colloquial name, albeit one widely adopted by foreign visitors, who continue to use it.
    When King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I) established his new capital on the river's eastern bank, he named it Krung Rattanakosin In Ayothaya (กรุงรัตนโกสินทร์
