Am I right that in the German WP on Tambon Bua Khao has to be changed to Kuchinarai?

Any idea, why the population there is different to yours, e.g. Kut Khao? HDamm posted the article after the DOPA change in July?

You're doing a great job, btw.

The population number in these postings are those directly from the meeting transcripts. I have no idea what is the actual source and year for those numbers - the DOPA statistics for 2008 lists 8,478. Don't be confused with the numbers in Wikipedia, those 20,000 are the population in the whole Tambon, which includes the Thesaban Tambon Bua Khao as well.

Right now only the Amphoe articles on the Thai Wikipedia are really up to date with the local government entities, both on the English and the German WP the lists for most Amphoe are about two years old, before the massive upgrade of the TAO started.
