WHAT DOES THONBURI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Thonburi

Thonburi

Thon Buri is an area of modern Bangkok. During the era of the kingdom of Ayutthaya, its location on the right bank at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River had made it an important garrison town, which is reflected in its name: Thon is a loanword from Pali dhána wealth; Buri, from púra fortress. After the Burmese sack of Ayutthaya in 1767, King Taksin established the kingdom of Thonburi in 1768, with Thon Buri as his capital until 1782. King Rama I moved the capital to Bangkok in 1782. Thon Buri remained an independent town and province, until it was merged into Bangkok in 1971. Thon Buri stayed less developed than the other side of the river. Many of the traditional small waterways, Khlongs, still exist there, while they are nearly gone from the other side of the river. In 1950, Bangkok had around 1.3m people, and the municipality of Thon Buri around 400,000. In 1970 Thon Buri was Thailand's second largest city proper with around 600,000 residents.
