The most I have found is Hungary...I am going by the area that is within the current boundaries of hungary, and what was considered the "Kingdom of Hungary". Its pretty loose terms, but I dont see any other answers yet...\n\nHungary was part of the Roman province Pannonia...\nCapital was Aquincum.\n\nThen province split up, having 2 historic capitals...\nSavaria and Sopianae.\n\nThen came Kingdom of Hungary...\nSiscia and Sirmium.\n\nThen the country we know as Hungary today...\nSzsfeha 1000-1361\nBuda 1361-1541\nPozsony 1541-1848\nGyulafeha 1541-1699\nBuda (again) 1848-1873, but was ruled by Austria, so you can count Vienna as well, since it was Austria's Capital.\nAnd finally Budapest 1873-Present.\n\nSo thats about 12 if you get REALLY technical. But hey, whats the fun of it if you don't get technical?\n\nI'm sure there's something out there with more...\n\nUPDATE...\n\nOkay, After a little more looking up, China has had 13 capital changes but not different capitals, some of them are repeats.\n\nNOTE: Something that came as a surprise to me, USA has had 11 different Capitals, most coming during the civil war. See 2nd link below...\n\nALSO: Texas has had 11 State Capitals, the most of any state. What a fun question. see 3rd link.

Actually, the official name of Bangkok is\nKrung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayutthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udom Ratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanu Kamprasit\n\n(or กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลก ภพนพรัตน์ ราชธานีบุรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์ มหาสถาน อมรพิมาน อวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะ วิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์).\n\nwhich means "The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn." Local school children are taught the full name, although few can explain its meaning because many of the words are archaic. Most Thais who do recall the full name do so as a result of its use in a popular song (กรุงเทพมหานคร/Krung Thep Mahanakhon by อัสนี-วสันต์ โชติกุล/Asanee-Wasan Chotikul 1989) and will often recount it by recalling the song at the same time, much in the same way that English speakers might sing the alphabet song while reciting the English alphabet.\n\nThe full name of the city is listed by Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest place name.\n\n\nAnd Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, with 58 letters, isn't even the longest train station in Brittain. That honour belongs to Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddollônpenrhynareurdraethceredigion (I can't write the whole name, click on my second source to confirm that).
