List Of Municipalities In Thailand
Thailand divides its settlements ('' thesaban'') into three categories by size: city municipalities ('' thesaban nakhon''), towns ('' thesaban mueang'') and townships (or subdistrict municipality) (''thesaban tambon''). There are 33 city municipalities as of November 2024. The national capital Bangkok and the special governed city Pattaya fall outside these divisions. They are "self-governing districts". Due to the outdated nature of the ''thesaban'' system, any city municipality's growth subsequent to its settlement designation is not included in both area and population numbers. For this reason, the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning, and each province's Provincial Administrative Organization regularly revise and publish up-to-date city boundaries () to reflect population growth. These revisions are royally decreed and published in the '' Royal Thai Government Gazette''. The term เขตเมือง/''khet mueang'' can also be translated to the term urb ...
