[1] The central government (ราชการส่วนกลาง) consists of ministries, bureaus, and departments (กระทรวงทบวงกรม krasuang tha-buang krom).

The ministries and bureaus are divided into departments (กรม krom), inter alia.

[4] There is a central government agency called Office of the Prime Minister (Thai: สำนักนายกรัฐมนตรี; RTGS: samnak nayok rattha montri).

It is led by the prime minister (Thai: นายกรัฐมนตรี; RTGS: nayok rattha montri) and bears ministerial status.

These agencies are not under any ministry, bureau, or department, but are directly subject to the prime minister.

[7] Each province is led by a Governor (ผู้ว่าราชการจังหวัด phu wa ratchakan changwat) and is divided into districts (อำเภอ amphoe).

[18] As for an administrative organisation, the government is also divided into two branches: the executive branch led by an administrative organisation chief (นายกองค์การบริหาร nayok ong kan borihan) and the legislative branch led by an administrative organisation council (สภาองค์การบริหาร sapha ong kan borihan).

The administrative organisation chiefs and councillors are directly elected by the local citizens.

The plan was proposed to the National Assembly by the citizens of Chiang Mai in October 2013.

[29] After the abolition of the monthon, a new subdivision named "region" (ภาค, Phak) was established.

A former municipal level were the sukhaphiban (sanitation districts, สุขาภิบาล), which were mostly responsible for sanitary tasks like waste management.

The one used by the National Statistical Office defines four regions - north, northeast, south and central.
