cuisine, customs and beliefs. You' ll marvel at wondrous sights
that give definition to a kingdom with an independent history stretching
back more than 700 years.
Thailand is divided into 76 provinces (changwat), which are grouped
into 5 groups of provinces by location. There are also 2 special
governed districts which are the capital - Bangkok (Krung Thep Maha
Nakhon in Thai ) and Pattaya. However Pattaya is still part of Chonburi
Province, while Bangkok is at provicinial level itself. Each province
is divided into smaller districts - as of 2000 there are 795 districts
amphoe), 81 sub-districts ( king amphoe) and 50 districts of Bangkok
(khet). However, some parts of the provinces bordering Bangkok are
referred to as Greater Bangkok pari monthon). These Provinces include
Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Nakhon Pathom, Samut Sakhon.
