There are also 2 special governed districts: the capital Bangkok (Krung Thep Maha Nakhon) and Pattaya, of which
Bangkok is at provincial level and thus often counted as a 76th province.

Each province is divided into districts and the districts are further divided into sub-districts (tambons). As
of 2006 there are 877 districts (amphoe) and the 50 districts of Bangkok (khet). Some parts of the provinces
bordering Bangkok are also referred to as Greater Bangkok (pari monthon). These provinces include Nonthaburi,
Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Nakhon Pathom and Samut Sakhon. The name of each province's capital city (mueang) is
the same as that of the province. For example, the capital of Chiang Mai province (changwat Chiang Mai) is
Mueang Chiang Mai or Chiang Mai. The 76 provinces are as follows:
