Bangkok is subdivided into 50 districts (khet, เขต, pronounced, also sometimes wrongly called amphoe as in the other provinces, derived from Pali khetta, cognate to Sanskrit kṣetra), which are further subdivided into 180 subdistricts (khwaeng, แขวง, pronounced [kʰwɛ̌ːŋ]), roughly equivalent to tambon in the other provinces.
