The Chonburi provincial government is divided into three systems of local government: provincial and local government. Pattaya, as Thailand's largest tourist-oriented city, has a special local government.
Chonburi province, with a registered population as of 31 December 2019 of 1,558,301, is led by a governor and is divided into 11 districts (amphoe). Each district is led by a district chief (nai amphoe). Governor, district chiefs, and district clerks are appointed by the central government. There are 92 subdistricts (tambon), each led by a subdistrict chief (kamnan); these are further divided into 711 villages (muban), each led by a village chief (phu yai ban). Subdistrict chiefs and village chiefs are elected by local citizens.
Pattaya City Administrative Organisation is a special local government since 30 October 1978. The executive branch is led by the Mayor of Pattaya (Nayok Mueang Pattaya) and the legislative branch is led by the Council of Pattaya (Sapha Mueang Pattaya). The Mayor of Pattaya and the Councillors of Pattaya are directly elected by the citizens of Pattaya. There is no subdivision of Pattaya City Administrative Organisation. But there are 42 communities, although not directly chosen, which have an advisory role.

Chonburi local government
There is one Chonburi Provincial Administrative Organisation - CPAO (ongkan borihan suan changwat chonburi, อบจ.ชลบุรี). There are 49 municipalities, which are divided into 2 city municipalities (thesaban nakhon), 10 town municipalities (thesaban mueang) and 37 subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon). Further for the local communities, which are not connected to a thesaban, there are 46 subdistrict administrative organisations - SAO (ongkan borihan suan tambon). All mayors, chiefs and councillors are directly elected by the local citizens. Municipalities have communities (chumchon), although not directly chosen by the local citizens, which provide advice and recommendations to local administrative organisations. They also promote and support community participation and enterprises at the district level and subdistrict villages.
