There hasn't been any changes to the local governments since the
upgrade of Pa Sak almost exactly two years ago, maybe due to the
proposed abolish of the TAO level. However, in the meeting number 44 of the board two to consider draft laws on September 9, the merge of
Wang Nuea TAO (องค์การบริหารส่วนตำบลวังเหนือ) with
Wang Nuea subdistrict municipality (เทศบาลตำบลวังเหนือ) was discussed. As I still
cannot access moi.go.th, I can only read indirectly through the Google cache, yet what I can find in the
transcript of the meeting suggests the change is forthcoming very soon - maybe directly with end of the term of the TAO council on October 19th. Waiting for the end of the council term is somewhat strange, given that the local elections are suspended since the coup in 2014 already, but it was similar with the upgrade of Pa Sak mentioned before.
The transcript states, that due to the low population in the TAO - 1949 according to the transcript, 2167 in the
latest DOPA statistics - the TAO should be abolished. A poll on whether the citizen approve this dissolution has been done, asking with which local government Wang Nuea shall be merged.
- Wang Nuea municipality: 679 votes
- Ban Mai municipality: 217 votes
- Wang Sai TAO: 25 votes
- Thung Hua TAO: 5 votes
- Wang Tai TAO: 5 votes
The voters chose the obvious solution, to let the Wang Nuea municipality cover almost whole subdistrict Wang Nuea (Ban Mai covers a small part of the sub district as well).
