Yesterday, I heard news about forming a new province. Bueng Kan Province (บึงกาฬ) which is located in the northeastern of Thailand is going to be separated from Nong Khai Province (หนองคาย) in about half. To do this, Thai government has to approve and create an act to be officially published. Recently, the government already approved the proposal; it is now in the publishing process.

Therefore we will have 76 provinces and 1 special administrative area, Bangkok (กรุงเทพมหานคร). Many people might have considered Bangkok as a province so Bueng Kan would be the 77th province, but it is not quite correct.
