Entity number statistics

Last week, the Department of Local Administration not uploaded the list of municipal changes in the current fiscal year, they also added an updated version of their various lists, including the one with the numbers of the various local administrative units. As of June 20 2011, there are

• 76 provincial administrative organizations (PAO), though the one for Bueng Kan isn't elected yet
  
• 2010 municipalities - 27 cities, 145 towns and 1838 subdistrict municipalities
  
• 5765 subdistrict administrative organizations (TAO)
  
• 2 special administrative areas (Bangkok and Pattaya)
  

Interestingly, just now I noticed the corresponding list from the Department of Provincial Administration has been updated as well, though it was already signed on April 20. Thus, as of March 31 2011, there are

• 76 provinces
  
• 878 districts (not including those within Bangkok)
  
• 7255 subdistricts (not including those within Bangkok)
  
• 74955 administrative villages
  
• 2010 municipalities - 26 cities, 144 towns and 1840 subdistrict municipalities
  
• 5765 subdistrict administrative organizations (TAO)
  
• 2 special administrative areas (Bangkok and Pattaya)
  

Comparing with last year, apart from the municipal changes there was of course one new province together with its PAO, and also just one new administrative village (created March 2010 in Surin).
