What do governors do?
A governor is a high-ranking official who leads a governmental body, often a province, state, or in Bangkok's case, a special administrative area. They are responsible for public administration, emergency management, and implementing policies. Bangkok's governor, for example, took the crucial step of declaring the disaster zones and coordinating the city's response to the floods.
