[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Pa Sang district becoming effective on April 1 1995.[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 east clockwise) Pa Sang and Ban Hong of Lamphun Province, Chom Thong and Doi Lo of Chiang Mai Province.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into three subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 24 villages (muban). Wang Phang is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers the same-named tambon. There are further 2 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
