Last Sunday, the Church discontinued a district in Thailand. Organized in 1989, the Khon Kaen Thailand District was consolidated with the Ubon Thailand and Udorn Thailand Districts. The former district had five branches prior to the district realignment. Missionaries report that the area is very close to having two new stakes within the foreseeable future and that the decision to close the Khon Kaen Thailand District was based on helping the two other districts in northeastern Thailand meet the minimum criteria for stakes to operate. Currently the Ubon Thailand District has nine branches and one member group, whereas the Udorn Thailand District now has seven branches (including the Vientiane Branch in Laos).
There are now two stakes and four districts in Thailand.

From LDS Maps, the Khon Kaen Branch is now in the Udorn Thailand District, while the other four branches of the former Khon Kaen District, Kalasin, Korat, Mahasarakham, and Roi-Et branches, are now in the Ubon Thailand District.
It therefore appears that the districts have the following branches
Ubon Thailand District
Kalasin Branch
Korat Branch
Mahasarakham Branch
Roi-Et Branch
Buriram Branch
Srisaket Branch
Surin Branch
Ubon Branch
Yasothorn Branch

Michael, thank you for supplying the unit creations that I am no long in a position to supply.
You're welcome, I always appreciated your updates. Congratulations on your new calling! I will try to keep up with them.
Thanks Michael.
I was also just called as Gospel doctrine teacher in my ward. I am very excited!
My ward has not baptized that well the last few years (converts; Child of Record has been constant, almost one per month). Maybe 6 or 7 in the last 5 years. But we hope to baptize a good number (6-12) in the next few months.
We hope. Good to see growth most places. Even individually.
Just got an email from a missionary serving there. Not sure which is which, but apparently one is going to become a stake in the next few months and the other is expected sometime next year. It'll be interesting to see who gets the temple between Thailand and Cambodia, but I'd guess that Thailand will since they have a higher membership and more units.
