The full name is:

but obviously too long for everyday use.
In Thai it's written as 'krungthep etc.'
There is a Thai pop song which is simply the name of the capital set to music.
Krung Tep. Sounds a bit pretentious for foreigners to use that phrase since Thais will always refer to it as Bangkok when speaking to you.
Krung Thep or City of Angels.
I think its Khrung Thep. Not quite sure of the spelling though.

Thai name or Full Name
Krung Thep, or Krung Thep Maha Nakhon is the abbreviation of the city's full ceremonial name
" Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayutthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udom Ratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanu Kamprasit "
Which means "The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukam." Local school children are taught the full name, although few can explain its meaning because many of the words are archaic.
Most Thais who do recall the full name do so as a result of its use in a popular song Krung Thep Mahanakhon by Asanee-Wasan Chotikul 1989 and will often recount it by recalling the song at the same time, much in the same way that English speakers might sing the alphabet song while reciting the English alphabet.
