After some years of almost no changes, now there are some new administrative villages, and also the number municipality upgrades have increased - and several more are in the pipeline, as I have noticed them in the meeting transcripts at law.moi.go.th. And as usual, there is still the odd discrepancy of one subdistrict which is not counted in this statistics, but still included in the population data.
