I realized that I am currently living in the state that has the longest name in the United States, and I will be living in the place with the longest country name in the world.
Actually Massachusetts, North Carolina, and South Carolina are tied the longest name in the US. Also, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania have longer names than Rhode Island. The United States, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Bosna and Herzegovina, South Africa, Costa Rica, Argentina, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Venezuela, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Switzerland, Luxembourg, San Marino, Guatemala, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Dominican Republic, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Madagascar, Mozambique, Bangladesh, North Korea, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia and possibly a few others, all have a longer name than Thailand.
Apparently, you haven't done your research, which is quite surprising to me! The full name of Rhode Island is "The State of Rhode Island and Plymouth Plantations," making it the longest U.S. state name by far. In addition, the name of Thailand written out in Thai, which I am not going to put here because it's so long, is most definitely the longest name of any country. I'm sorry, Man Ock, just making sure you know the facts.
You are right about the official state name, but you never specified, which surprises me since you are apparently a "college level" English student! And ประเทศไทย doesn't look like the longest country name in the world to me.....
