message: Another historic subdivision not yet mentioned are the Sakha Tambon (สาขาตำบล), which seem to have existed till 2002. Anyone have any info on them - there extremely few google hits of that term. andy 22:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: บ้าน home, house that is home, a group of homes; as part of a placename, a village, but a village per se is never an administative unit. Several muban (home groups) may containbe included in one place named as a village, but the village placename is not part of one's postal address. The standard postal adress is Home No. Home group No. Tambon Name, Ampoe Name, Changwat Name, Postal Code.
บาง haven in the sense of a waterside village, is used only in central Thai placenames like บางกอก บางกะปี บางขวาง บางแสน

message: Because it's not made clear, are all municipalities (city, town and subdistrict) on the same administrative level?  If not, it'd make sense to redo the chart on the side of the page.  As far as I can tell "city municipalities" and "town municipalities" are subordinate or under the jurisdiction of a district (amphoe), while a "subdistrict/township municipality" is a step lower and subordinate or under the jurisdiction of a subdistrict/township (tambon), but at least half-a-step above a village (muban).  As special cases go, Bangkok seems to be on the same administrative level as a province, and Pattaya on the same level as a district or maybe a half-step below as it seems to be independent of its district, but it still statistically/geographically included in the definition of Bang Lamung District.
I could be entirely wrong, though, because this is not spelled out in the article.  Can someone clarify this? --Criticalthinker (talk) 07:38, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: They are on the same level, and are (in theory) not subordinate to the provincial administration. Have you seen the Thesaban article? There's a bit more detail there. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:36, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I have seen that article.  It's a bit hard for me to believe, however, that a city municipality is on the same administrative level as a township municipality, though.  You're telling me one has the same responsibilities/powers as the other? --Criticalthinker (talk) 23:43, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The larger municipalities do have wider responsibilities, but this doesn't imply a hierarchy. The thesaban/municipalities are on the same administrative level in the sense that they are all independent bodies. They are not directly subordinate to bodies of the provincial administration (changwat/amphoe/tambon), but occupy a different dimension. However, they are subject to personal oversight. The thesaban nakhon and thesaban mueang are under the oversight of the province governor, while thesaban tambon are under the oversight of the chief district officer (head of the amphoe). --Paul_012 (talk) 01:00, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That last part is all I needed to know.  I was speaking of oversight like you would in just about any country with municipal corporations.  So city and town municipalities are in fact on a level higher than that of townships, as the former are overseen by provincial-level government and the latter under district-level government. --Criticalthinker (talk) 04:28, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
