Four municipalities changed

Yesterday four announcements were published in the Royal Gazette, all modifying municipalities - three upgrades of municipalities including one name change, and one TAO upgraded to a municipality. In detail, the following was done.

• Nong Ko subdistrict municipality (เทศบาลตำบลหนองโก), Khon Kaen province, renamed and upgraded to Kranuan town (เทศบาลเมืองกระนวน), effective March 9. [Gazette]
• Phak Hai subdistrict municipality, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province, upgraded to a town municipality (เทศบาลเมืองผักไห่), effective March 9. [Gazette]
• Bua Khao subdistrict municipality, Kalasin province, upgraded to a town municipality (เทศบาลเมืองบัวขาว), effective March 9. [Gazette]
• Mae Ho Phra subdistrict administrative organization, Chiang Mai province, upgraded to a subdistrict municipality (เทศบาลตำบลแม่หอพระ). [Gazette]

And since I complained about the lack of maps in the last set of municipal announcements, this time all four announcements include the municipal boundary definitions and a map, though technically only necessary for the upgrade of the TAO - in the other three cases no municipal borders were changed.
