Let's start discussing about indexing of POIs and Roads and confirm ASAP. For our Thai map:
County: THAILAND
State/province: <province name> e.g. SONGKHLA
City: <district name>/<major city name> e.g. HAT YAI
Any problem with this standard? Any comment? Opinions from Thai members are much appreciated.

This is what I found..>
The word Mueang still can be found as the term for the capital districts of the provinces (amphoe mueang), as well as for a municipal status equivalent to town (thesaban mueang).

Re: Thailand Map Development - City Index Standard
Some more info...
From Thailand Yellow Pages:
Addresses
Sois, Moos, Tambons, Amphurs, Chiangwats... How does this system work? Very logically, really. Let's start at the front door of a typical Thai house.
Outside most Thai houses is a Soi (lane) or a Thanon (road). Say the address is 18/2 Singharaj Soi 3. This translates to (Lot) 18, (House) 2. Sometimes this followed by a Moo, or a Neighbourhood; e.g., Moo 5 or Neighbourhood 5, which in turn is part of a Tambon, or Sub-District; e.g., Tambon Chang Puak or Chang Puak Sub-District. Amphurs are basically Districts, and Chiangwats are Provinces.
Prathet in Thai means country, and this website focuses on Prathet Thai, or the Kingdom of Thailand. Easy enough.

Re: Thailand Map Development - City Index Standard
Some info :-
** Keys to index ** The road naming system may easily confuse you.
1 There is more than one way of spelling or romanizing some road names that can confuse you. The following examples are the standard romanized spellings with, in brackets, another way of spelling you may commonly find: Asok (Asoke), Si (Sri), Sathon (Sathorn), Surawong (Surawongse), etc.
2 It is common for some roads to have more than one name. For
examples, New Road = Charoen Krung Road, Wireless Road = Withayu Road, Phra Pin Klao = Somdet Phra Pin Klao, etc.
3 Some road names are written both in separate and joint form, such as
Phra Pin Klao = Phra Pinklao, Rong Muang = Rongmuang, Sanam Chai = Sanamchai, etc.
4 Some road names are preceded by the word "Thanon", which means "road" in Thai.
5 Some street names are preceded by the word "Soi", which means "street" in Thai.
Sorry.. off topic..

Re: Thailand Feedback
I've complied this initially to setup my address search table. Not too sure if this table will be of any use to the rest. Let me know and I will complete the rest of S Thailand. Can go down to Tambon level but will be stratching me a bit.

- King Amphoe (กิ่งอำเภอ) mean small/minor/sub-district (in Malaysia similiar to Daerah Kecil).
- King (กิ่ง) itself in Thai mean a branch or bough or twig [of flowers/tree]. *In bahasa Malaysia - cabang/ranting
