[edit] History
The area of Doi Luang was separated from Mae Chan district and established as a minor district (King Amphoe) on July 15, 1996.[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] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Chiang Saen, Chiang Khong, Wiang Chiang Rung and Mae Chan.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 31 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
