The thai nation state developed in a way that was dominate by central government
Under King Chula reforms of 1892 decentralisation was not introduced because Thailand needed to strengthen central government to ensure control of the national administration system rather than risking decentralisation
The administrative reforms of 1892 then only focused on the national administration system
This made the policy made by central government could be implemented more effectively
However, the main purpose was to make certain the Thai central government was empowered, and had sufficient strength, to remain an independent nation stste, and so protect itselt from colonialism
A foundation, but also a tirning point towards the present administrative system
Soon after the reform agenda was announced making Thailand sent higher level government officials abroad on a tour of inspection to gain ideas for reform
Government at the provincial level was also subject to change to make the administrative system more effective
