Currently there are 77 provinces in Thailand. Newest province is Bueng Kan บึงกาฬ, split off from Nong Khai หนองคาย on 23 March 2011. There are plans to split Bua Yai บัวใหญ่ off Nakhon Ratchasima นครราชสีมา:

Technically there are 76 provinces plus Bangkok:
Thailand is a unitary state that is subdivided into 76 provinces (Thai: จังหวัด; RTGS: changwat) and one special administrative area representing the capital Bangkok.[1] The provinces are part of the provincial government, while Bangkok is part of the local government.

but even Thai guidebooks and maps speak of 77 provinces.
I lost count how many times I have been to Thailand (and with passport stolen in 2013 there is no easy way to look it up) and how many provinces I have visited (only spending a night counts). Here a list of my travel to countries in South-East Asia and provinces in Thailand I visited. Ordinal numbers give provinces in chronological order, other entries provinces (except Chonburi/Pattaya, I've been many times) I visited before and other countries.
When staying elsewhere than provincial capital, specified in brackets. One date means date of check in (and check out the following day), range of date means check in and check out (i.e. a range of 3 days means staying 2 nights).

At 10 to 15 new provinces per year (probably declining with
advancing coverage as I will go to provinces I have been to again), it will
take about 5 more years of living in Thailand, or the rest of my life of coming
to Thailand for holiday to visit all provinces.
You might wonder who cares how many provinces I visited.
I don't know, I made this list for myself to keep track and might as well share it.
One Farang friend has been to all provinces except the three southern with civil unrest (Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat). A Thai friend warned me not to go there. Do you think that will deter me? On the contrary, it's a challenge! If they sell me a ticket at Hua Lampong, I will go by train. If not, I will go by bus from Hat Yai. If not, I will walk and hitchhike! (Update: Narathiwat and Pattani by train and bus without problems in January 2016.)
(Thonburi joined with Bangkok, used to be separate province.)

depends on what U call ''have visited''. I have-that means at least travelled across-but Bg Khan before it weas split off.
ReplyDeleteYes, you can just buy tix to points beyond HYai from any SRT station-but not all 3 provinces there have trains. I went through (had been there before) at the year when the floods hit TH-nov '11? Heavy military presence on all stations and riding on trains-with open rifles/guns. And very nice locals wanting to talk. This to go to MY/Kota bahru. The point is more-fairly high chance of being at the wrong place at the wrong time-bombs exploding on a daily basis.
I like your system of counting place as visited only if night was spend there. I use this for myself too.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it leads to funny stares if I say that I never was in France and at the same sentence I boast about climbing Eiffel Tower or being able to contemplate Mona Lisa for 10 minutes without any crowds.
