Chai Prakan, Administrative district in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.
Chai Prakan is an administrative district in northern Thailand's Chiang Mai Province. The territory is divided into four sub-districts centered around two municipal towns that serve the local population.
The district officially became independent in 1994 after separating from a neighboring administrative area. This separation allowed the region to establish its own governance structure and local services.
The district's communities practice agriculture passed down through generations, with farming methods that reflect the values of each locality. Walking through the villages, you notice how people maintain connections to the land and seasonal rhythms that shape daily life.
The district is organized around two main towns where visitors can find local services and orientation. The four sub-divisions mean that services are spread across the area rather than concentrated in a single location.
The area sits between two mountain ranges that create a natural corridor for trade and movement. This positioning has long influenced how communities connect and travel through the region.
