[edit] History
The area of Pa Daet was originally dense forest of Phan district. People from other places went there to hunt animals and settle new village. It was created as the minor district (King Amphoe) Pa Daet on June 1 1969, consisting of the single tambon Pa Daet.[1] The minor district was upgraded to a full district on August 21 1975.[2]
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Phan, Mueang Chiang Rai, Thoeng of Chiang Rai Province, Chun, Dok Khamtai, Phu Kamyao, Mueang Phayao and Mae Chai of Phayao province.
The Phi Pan Nam Mountains dominate the landscape of the district. The important water resource is the Ing River.
