New Muban in Lampang

Yesterday the creation of two new administrative villages (Muban, หมู่บ้าน) in Lampang province was announced in the Royal Gazette. The announcement was signed on June 19 by province governor Thawatchai Thoetphaothai (ธวัชชัย เทอดเผ่าไทย), and came into effect the same day. The creation was approved by the Ministry of Interior on June 12 in the ministerial order มท ๐๓๑๐.๑/๓๑๑๒ - these ministerial orders however seem to be not available online anywhere.

• Ban Mo Luang (บ้านเมาะหลวง), Mu 8 of Mae Mo subdistrict, Mae Mo district was split to form the new Mu 12 named Ban Wiang Hong Lan Na (บ้านเวียงหงส์ล้านนา).
• Ban Huai Rak Mai (บ้านห้วยรากไม้), Mu 5 of Sop Pat subdistrict, Mae Mo district was split to form the new Mu 8 named Ban Mai Chalong Rat (บ้านใหม่ฉลองราช).

The announcement also includes the boundary description of both the new villages as well as those villages which had their boundary changed, but sadly I have not enough time to translate all the coordinates to a map this time.

And since I mentioned the ministerial order, I have now added that piece of data into my XML as well, thus the XML entry for these two new Muban now contains the line
