The Kingdom of Thailand lies in Southeast Asia, with Laos and Cambodia to its east, the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia to its south, and the Andaman Sea and Myanmar to its west. The country's official name was Siam (Thai: สยาม; IPA: [saˈjaːm], RTGS: Sayam) until 24 June 1939. [1] It was again called Siam between 1945 and May 11, 1949, when it was again changed by official proclamation. The word Thai (ไทย) means "freedom" in the Thai language and is also the name of the majority ethnic group.

Just wanna correct some of above answers.
Siam is the previous name of Thailand so it's not the name of the capital
Kanjanaburi is not.
Chiangmai used to be capital of another country call Lan-Chang. They later merge with Siam. Laos is also part of Siam before stupid french guys took it away.
I'd name all so no one will make you confused.
Bangkok
from newest to the oldest.
