The district is divided into eight districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 85 villages (mubans). Huai Rat is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Huai Rat and tambon Huai Racha. There are a further seven tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

gollark: I don't think they offer ARM. Are you using the Oracle free plan as a proxy server?
