I agree to a point, but try Bangkok.

Edit: For the uninitiated, that is: Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit

lol do they say that colloquially? I don't think so?

No. They use Krung Thep, which is short for Krung Thep Maha Nakhon.

Bangkok is also the first one that came to mind, bit as other have said the full name is not used locally, either.

Pekwachnamaykoskwaskwaypinwanik Lake in Manitoba, though.

Maybe, but what do the locals call it?
