Phak (Thai: ภาค) refers to the grouping of multiple provinces with regard to history, culture, and geography. There are ten types of phak divisions: 6-regions, 5-4-regions, meteorological, tourism, economic, highway, landlines, postal, electoral, and scouts.
The provinces of Thailand are administrative divisions of the government of Thailand. [3] The country is divided into 76 provinces ( Thai : จังหวัด , RTGS : changwat , pronounced [t͡ɕāŋ.wàt̚] ) proper, with one additional special administrative area (the capital, Bangkok).
This table lists those districts, and the provinces of Thailand and regions of Thailand in which they lie. This sortable table does not include districts in Bangkok. See List of districts of Bangkok. At the bottom follows a table with Thai names of the large regions.
Thailand is variably divided into different sets of regions, the most notable of which are the six-region grouping used in geographic studies, and the four-region grouping consistent with the Monthon administrative regional grouping system formerly used by the Ministry of Interior. These regions are the largest subdivisions of the country.
An amphoe (sometimes also amphur, Thai: อำเภอ, pronounced [ʔām.pʰɤ̄ː])—usually translated as "district"—is the second level administrative subdivision of Thailand. Groups of amphoe or districts make up the provinces, and are analogous to counties. The chief district officer is Nai Amphoe (นายอำเภอ).
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.
