Thailand is divided into 75 provinces (changwat, singular and plural), which are grouped into 5 groups of provinces and Bangkok as capital city. Each province is divided into smaller districts - as of 2000 there are 795 districts (Amphoe), 81 sub-districts (King Amphoe) and 50 districts of Bangkok (khet). However, some parts of the provinces bordering Bangkok are referred to as Greater Bangkok (Prari Monthon). These Provinces include Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Nakhon Pathom, Samut Sakhon. The name of each capital city (mueang) is the same as that of the province: for example, the capital of Chiang Mai province (changwat Chiang Mai) is amphoe mueang Chiang Mai. The 75 provinces are as follows:
