General
I just need "Bangkok" written literally as it is (not any form of Krungthep), using the windows-874 character set. (Krungthep I have already.)
Thanks!

ºÒ§¡Í¡
First, I don' t think you need the pronunciation of Bangkok but this word in Thai. So you should write ºÒ§¡Í¡ as Thais write because it is Thai language.
Second, I still recommend you to use ¡ÃØ§à·¾Ï when spelling it in Thai, since ºÒ§¡Í¡ is not much used both in written or spoken form. We have only ¡Ãا෾ÁËÒ¹¤Ã or ¡ÃØ§à·¾Ï as our officially capital name.

ầ¤Í¡
This is the US pronunciation of the word Bangkok. In Thailand ºÒ§¡Í¡ is often used, but I don't agree with this since it is not a correct representation of the English (or USA English) sounds.

: The origin of Bangkok is ºÒ§¡Í¡. So how can one write ầ¤Í¡ from Bangkok?

"ầ¤Í¤", The capital city of Thailand
"Bangkok" is the name of Thailand capital city. Thai used to call "ºÒ§¡Í¡" in the past but now it was changed to be "¡Ãا෾ÁËÒ¹¤Ã" , "Krungthepmahanakorn", which is the longest capital city name in the world.
