History

1917 the district Phayao was renamed to Mueang Phayao.[1] In 1938 the word Mueang was removed again, as only the capital districts of the provinces were supposed to have that name.[2] With the creation of Phayao province in 1977, the district was named Mueang Phayao again.[3]

The district is subdivided into 15 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 171 villages (muban). The town (thesaban mueang) Phayao covers the whole tambon Wiang and Mae Tam. There are further 13 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
