If you can read Thai you can find the list in
th:กิ่งอำเภอ. But I don't know if these King Amphoe were really the last, or if new districts which will be created in the future will start as King Amphoe again. In that case such a list won't make much sense to list it here, but if you're really interested I can compile that list easily.

I have just modified one external link on
Amphoe. Please take a moment to review

The list was created back in 2006, when there were two fewer districts. It should be fine to update the list numbers, though the figures and rankings might also need updating. --

Requested move 22 January 2022
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Comment Please note that "district of Thailand" can be either "
amphoe" or "
khet". If the "amphoe" article is renamed "district", what are we going to do with "khet"? Just asking. --

True, some countries' regions don't correspond to districts in English. But Thailand's amphoe do. Did you look at the linked prior RM discussion? And if we don't move this, how do you suggest we rationalize the collection of related articles and categories? I'm open to alternate proposals.

Well, someone just commented above stating that there are amphoes and khets in Thailand and both administrative divisions are one level below the provinces. So what are we going to do? Are we going to use "departments" to substitute one of them? Or "sub-provinces"?

Khet and amphoe are equivalent in level, and they're regarded as the same thing for most practical purposes. This article already mentions khet; it would make sense to cover them here as well (as there's currently no coverage). --

Okay, I'll support the proposal (though I could still be convinced either way). As I mentioned at the CfD, "Amphoe" has the benefit of being concise and specific. Neither it nor the preference for English terms outweighs the other IMO, but since the provinces article is at
Provinces of Thailand, "Districts of Thailand" would be more consistent with most other articles. --

PS I expect tambon would require a separate nom if renaming is also desired, as the official translation subdistrict appears to be less universally used, and tambon appears as a loanword in terms such as
One Tambon One Product. --

Support mostly per nom.
WP:USEENGLISH is most relevant here; the only reason it doesn't need to be
Amphoe of Thailand is that Amphoe is a (transliterated) Thai-language word. Unlike some European terms (arrondisement or oblast) I don't think anyone uses amphoe in English.
