 In the Autonomous Region on Muslim Mindanao, a Regional Governor and Regional Vice Governor are elected by a block vote similar to the United States President.In Thailand, the title "Governor" (ผู้ว่าราชการ "Phuwa Ratcha Gaan" in Thai) refers to the administrator of each Thai province, who is appointed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The only exception is the specially governed district of Bangkok, whose governor is elected by its population, thus making him or her equivalent to a mayor.
