Regions of Thailand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thailand's four regions are the largest subdivisions of the country. In contrast to the provinces the regions have no administrative character, but are subdivisions of Thailand used for statistical or other geographical purposes only. The four most common regions are:

Northern Thailand
Northeast Thailand, also commonly named Isan
Central Thailand
Southern Thailand

While these four are always defined with the same territorial extend, the less common further subdivision of the central region into three or four regions differs in its extends.
