![Map showing the 76 provinces of Thailand](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Thailand_provinces.png/170px-Thailand_provinces.png)
Thailand is divided into 75 provinces (Thai: จังหวัด, changwat, singular and plural), which are grouped into 5 groups of provinces - sometimes the East and Central are grouped together. The capital Bangkok, though not a province but a special administrative area, is usually also included as a 76th province as it is at the same administrative level as the other provinces. The name of the province is the same as that of the capital city, which is sometimes preceded with a Mueang to avoid confusion with the province.
