History

The Interior Ministry upgraded Mueang Mae Hong Son to be a 4th class city under Monthon Phayap on May 10, 1910.[1] It then consisted of the four districts Mueang Mae Hong Son, Mueang Yuam (now Mae Sariang district), Pai and Khun Yuam.

In 1917, the district was renamed from Mueang to Muai To (ม่อยต่อ).[2] In 1938 it was renamed to Mueang Mae Hong Son.[3] The north-eastern part of the district was split off in 1987 and formed the new district Pang Mapha.[4]

Geography

Neighboring are (from south clockwise) Khun Yuam of Mae Hong Son Province, Kayah State of Myanmar, Pang Mapha, Pai of Mae Hong Son Province again and Galyani Vadhana and Mae Chaem of Chiang Mai Province.

The Namtok Mae Surin National Park office is located in the district.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 70 villages (muban). Mae Hong Son itself is a town (thesaban mueang) which covers the complete tambon Chong Kham. Each of the other 6 tambon is administrated by a Tambon administrative organization (TAO).
