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.
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].
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).
