Digest of administrative changes in 2007

This year not that many new administrative entities were created or changed, so listing all these changes in a single posting makes a nice year ending post. The date give is the one where the announcement became effective. There were four upgrades of municipalities, two new municipalities, and the upgrade of all 71 minor districts.

• January 12: Upgrade of Thesaban Tambon Sattahip, Sattahip district, Chonburi to Thesaban Mueang: Royal Gazette, Volume 124, Issue พิเศษ 184 ง, Page 2, issued November 26


• March 6: Creation of Thesaban Tambon Khlong Chik, Bang Pa-in district, Ayutthaya: Royal Gazette, Volume 124, Issue พิเศษ 82 ง, Page 9, issued July 9


• May 4: Upgrade of Thesaban Mueang Surat Thani to Thesaban Nakhon: Royal Gazette, Volume 124, Issue พิเศษ 67 ง, Page 15, issued June 4. The photo shows the townhall, taken shortly before the upgrade so it still says "Thesaban Mueang" above the entrance.
