in the 19th century, while state enterprises were introduced in the first half of the 20th century. By the 1990s, the bureaucratic structure of government agencies had become recognized as a source of inefficiency, and administrative reforms begun in 1997 sought to ameliorate the issue by creating new forms of state agencies with greater autonomy and operational flexibility. Thailand's state agencies now fall into the following types, as classified by the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission: #Government agencies #State enterprises #Public organizations #New state agency forms ## Independent administrative organizations ## Legal-entity funds ## Service delivery units

Government agencies

Government agencies () make up the majority of the machinery of government. They serve the basic functions of government, providing administrative public services, and follow the policies of the executive. Their operation is based on the laws and regulations of the civil service and the military. Within the central administration, government agencies include the ministries () and sub-ministries (), and their constituent departments () or equivalent agencies. Within the provincial administration, they include the

Public organizations

Public organizations (), also known as autonomous public organizations, were introduced in 1999. They provide social and cultural public services, and operate under supervision of the government, while maintaining a greater degree of administrative independence. Most newer public organizations are established under the Public Organization Act, B.E. 2542 (1999 CE), the first being Banphaeo Hospital in 2000. Others, such as the
