The 77 Provinces of Thailand
Thailand has 77 provinces(Changwat), of which about 53 are of major interest to foreign tourists. Among these are all 9 provinces of the North and all 16 provinces in the South. All provinces have the same name as the provincial capital which is called Amphoe Mueang to distinguish them.
Each province is subdivided into 4 to 32districts(Amphoe), totaling 878 districts in all of Thailand.In addition there are 50 districts of Bangkok, which are called Khet.
A district consists of severaltowns(Tambon), consisting of villages (Mu Ban).A single village is called Ban. The village remains the social home of each Thai person, even if he works in the distance.
