When driving that way, the first place to see is the city pillar shrine ( Lak Mueang), a small shrine located in a nice park with the wooden pillar covered by gold in the center. Which was rather easy as they are all located close to each other on Ratchawithi road, and easy to find as on Phetkasem from bangkok it's just driving straight on instead of taking the turn to the south next to Khao Wang. This year I happened to stop over in Phetchaburi two times, and used the time to collect photos of the administrative offices. I will give a more detailed analysis of these tomorrow by checking through the next two files from the website which list all the municipality upgrades. The numbers for the subdistrict municipalities and the TAO differ quite a lot from those derived by the board meeting transcripts.

On the other hand, there are about 140 upgrades which are still pending - already decided by the board but for whatever reason delayed.Īlready from the case of the upgrade of Ko Samui, which was set to become a city by the board but then actually became only a town, I knew that the board does not have the final word on the municipality upgrades, but it is surprising to see so many changes taking effect on later days than the originally set date. A total of 64 upgrades I did not know before from the board meetings, fitting with my earlier assumption. The most notable thing is the fact that the dates of becoming effective according to these two lists differ from those given in the board meeting, most of them taking place on October 27. It contains 319 TAO upgrades to subdistrict municipalities. ปีงบประมาณ 2553 covers the first three months of fiscal year 2010, from October 1 till December 15. It includes 1 subdistrict municipality upgraded to a town, and 59 TAO to subdistrict municipalities.

In the current local administrative data there are two files which list the upgrades in last year.

And there are also some from board meetings which haven't been put on the website. As there are now 1841 subdistrict municipalities, compared to 1468 in December 2008, there must have been 373 upgrades, quite a lot but however less than the 460 I have found in the board meeting transcripts.
