After many hours in airplanes and airports, we arrived in the city of Bangkok, also known as "Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Buirom Udomratchaiwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit."
We'll be living and working in the capital city of Bangkok (at the center of the country), home to 8.2 million people. Thailand is 1.21 times bigger than California.

Bhumibol Adulyadej is the reigning King of Thailand and the queen's name is Sirikit. He is known as Rama IX and has served since June 9, 1946. He is the world's longest-serving current head of state and the longest reigning monarch in Thai history.
The Thai flag has three colors: red (for land and people), white (for all religions), and blue (the monarchy).
