Doi Saket

The district spans across varied terrain with rice fields in the valleys and fruit orchards along the hillsides at 469 meters above sea level.

Established in 1902, Doi Saket has transformed from a small farming settlement into a developed district with fourteen administrative sub-divisions called tambons.

The district contains numerous Buddhist temples including Wat Doi Saket, which features traditional Thai religious art and serves as a central point for local ceremonies.

Doi Saket maintains a network of local markets, including Talat Khwan and Talat Yai, where residents purchase fresh produce and handmade goods.

The Mae Kuang Dam within the district provides water resources while offering views of the Khun Tan mountain range in the background.
