Province is also called changwat in Thai.  There are 76 provinces and each with a governor as its head.  Below the province is the amphoe or district, and each headed by a nai amphoe or district officer.  Then comes the tambo, a commune of villages, each with a kamnan in charge.  Finally, the lowest level of administration is the mubaan, the village, each headed by a democratically elected phuuyaibaan or village head.
