Bangkok is the capital and the most populous city of Thailand. It is known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon.

Decorum was a principle of classical rhetoric, poetry and theatrical theory that was about the fitness or otherwise of a style to a theatrical subject. The concept of decorum is also applied to prescribed limits of appropriate social behavior within set situations.
Decorous for a time had another meaning as wellâfitting or appropriateâbut that now-obsolete sense seems to have existed for only a few decades in the 17th century. Decorous derives from the Latin word decorus, an adjective created from the noun decor, meaning beauty or grace. Decor is akin to the Latin verb decÄre (to be fitting), which is the source of our adjective decent. It is only fitting, then, that decent can be a synonym of decorous.
