Fang, Administrative district in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

King Lawa Changkarat established Mueang Fang in 641, which later served as a strategic base for King Mengrai before the founding of Chiang Mai.
The district name originates from the local landscape's resemblance to seeds of the Caesalpinia sappan tree, reflecting Thai naming traditions.
