Four new municipalities announced

Another four TAO have been upgraded to municipalities, and these acts published in the Royal Gazette last week.

• Thung Tam Sao, Hat Yai district, Songkhla, upgraded directly to a town municipality (เทศบาลเมืองทุ่งตำเสา) [Gazette]. Upgrade has been effective September 29.
• Sam Khok, Sam Khok district, Pathum Thani, upgraded to a subdistrict municipality (เทศบาลตำบลสามโคก) [Gazette]. Upgrade has been effective October 1.
• Ban Mai, Mueang district, Pathum Thani, upgraded to a subdistrict municipality (เทศบาลตำบลบ้านใหม่) [Gazette]. Upgrade has been effective October 1.
• Ton Thong Chai, Mueang district, Lampang, upgraded to a subdistrict municipality (เทศบาลตำบลต้นธงชัย) [Gazette]. Upgrade has been effective September 30.

Again, the announcements have been published shortly after being issued by the Ministry of Interior, which makes those still missing upgrade announcement from the upgrades four years ago even more strange.
