Province governor reshuffle

In the cabinet meeting of September 15, the Thai government approved the annual province governor reshuffle list submitted by the Ministry of Interior. Like all normal reshuffles it will be effective October 1. A total of 48 positions, province governors as well as deputy governors, but also the director-general leading the Department of Provincial Administration, will change. Below I am listing those changes affecting the province governors, which is the majority of the changes. Hopefully I have translated the titles outside the provincial administration correctly. The romanization of the names is done by RTGS as I don't know the preferred spellings of the officers.
