List of provinces of Thailand
This list includes the 76 provinces ( Changwat ) and the four regions of Thailand .
Bangkok is not a province, but a special administrative area , but is listed here as the 77th province, as it is administered at the same level as all other provinces.
Regions
The division according to regions is problematic because there is no uniform division, but different ones depending on the area of use. The best known are the “4-region model”, which is used in part for statistical and administrative purposes, and the “6-region model” of the National Geographic Committee. The central marketing organization TAT uses a "5-region model".
