[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise) Chom Thong, Mae Wang, San Pa Tong of Chiang Mai Province, Pa Sang and Wiang Nong Long of Lamphun Province.
[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on April 1, 1995, when four tambon were split off from Chom Thong[1].
Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15, 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts[2]. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official [3].
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 54 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
