Bangkok Metropolitan Administration


Act (No. 5),


BE 2550 (2007)



Bhumibol Adulyadej, R.


Given under our Hand this 15th Day of July, BE 2550 (2007);


Being the 62nd Year of our Reign.



Phra Bat Somdet Phra Paraminthra Maha Bhumibol Adulyadej is graciously pleased to proclaim that:

Whereas it is desirable to amend the law on Bangkok Metropolitan Administration;

Be it enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the National Legislative Assembly, as follows:



§ 1

This Act shall be cited as the "Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Act (No. 5), BE 2550 (2007)".


§ 2

This Act shall come into force as from the day following the date of its publication in the Government Gazette.[1]


§ 3

(6) of section 16 of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Act, BE 2528 (1985), which has been amended by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Act (No. 3), BE 2539 (1996), shall be repealed.



Countersigned by:
General Surayud Chulanont,
Prime Minister.



Statement of Grounds

The grounds for promulgation of this Act are as follows: Pursuant to the customary practices of the democratic regime of government of Thailand with the King as Head of State, discrimination against persons on the basis of different physical conditions is forbidden. However, the provision of section 16 (6) of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Act, BE 2528 (1985), gives rise to such discrimination and ought to be amended in keeping with the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand. It is therefore necessary to enact this Act.
