addc182 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I've known about this place since i was ten... The town name at their train station is the length of the whole platform lol Link to post Share on other sites
chopyaedoff Share Posted June 7, 2006 It's not a city - it's a small village. There's a visitor centre there, a train station, a few shops, and a petrol station. I've been past it many times - although since they extended the A55 all the way to Holyhead I don't pass it much now. Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Groff Share Posted June 27, 2011 This town in wales has long been thought to be the longest place name in the world but there is one that dwarfs this one. It is long version of the Thai name for Bangkok, called "Krungthep". The long form is Krungthepmahanakonbowornratanakosinmahintarayudyayamahadiloponoparatanarajthaniburiromudomrajniwesmahasatarnamornpimarnavatarsatitsakattiyavisanukamphrasit Don't ask me how to pronounce it. I probably couldn't. The Thai language (Balia Sanskrit) has 44 vowels. Link to post Share on other sites
