Best Answer

For real long ago ayutthaya was the capital of Thailand but when Bangkok came it was Thailand capital instead. Bangkok was Thailand capital of Thailand because people lives there a lot and it is where buildings, towers, Villas etc. are most made in Thailand. Ayutthaya was Thailand capital before because it is where soldiers are.

The history of the city of Bangkok, Thailand, dates at least to the early 15th century, when it was under the rule of Ayutthaya. Due to its strategic location near the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, the town gradually increased in importance, and after the fall of Ayutthaya, King Taksin established his new capital of Thonburi there on the river's western bank. King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke, who succeeded Taksin, moved the capital to the eastern bank in 1782.

Thailand is not a boy's name, but means Land of the Free because the country has never been conquered. ---> That info is incorrect.

Also during WW2 the Japanese bombed Thailand, and within a day Thailand surrendered to them. Please do your homework before posting incorrect information.
