Chiang Kham

Chiang Kham is an administrative district located in Phayao province in northeastern Thailand. The district is organized into ten sub-districts that together manage numerous villages and local communities across the region.

The district was established as part of Thailand's modern administrative framework and sits along the border with Xaignabouli province in Laos. This border location has made it a significant crossroads for regional connections.

The district maintains strong Tai Leu traditions, featuring regular ceremonies at temples such as Wat Nantaram, where visitors observe traditional textile making and religious practices.

The area has moderate temperatures due to its elevated location and connects well to other northern cities. Visitors should prepare for local road networks that allow exploration of the various villages and sub-districts.

The district is known for growing lychee fruits that thrive in the local climate. Nearby sits Mae Puem National Park, which draws nature enthusiasts to the region.
