List of cities in Thailand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thailand divides its municipalities (thesaban) into three levels - cities (thesaban nakhon), towns (thesaban mueang) and townships (thesaban tambon).
The national capital Bangkok (pop. 5,713,288: Feb 2009) and the special governed city Pattaya (pop. 107,289: August 16, 2010) are outside of these divisions.
