“ As all the localities forming Bueng Kan province used to be subject to the jurisdiction of the Nong Khai Provincial Court, the Nong Khai Provincial Court's Division for Juvenile and Family Cases no longer has power to try and adjudicate upon juvenile and family cases in the area of Bueang Kan province after the coming into force of the Act Establishing Bueng Kan Province, 2554 BE, and the offences committed by children and juveniles have to be prosecuted in the provincial court instead. ”

“ The Act Establishing Bueng Kan Province, 2554 BE, requires that Bueang Kan district, Seka district, So Phisai district, Bung Khla district, Bueng Khlong Long district, Pak Khat district, Phon Charoen district, and Si Wilai district, be separated from the administration of Nong Khai province to jointly form Bueng Kan province. ”
