Hot

Hot is an administrative district in Chiang Mai Province with a landscape of pine forests and mountains spread across six sub-districts. The area encompasses around 60 villages nestled throughout its terrain, creating a rural setting with natural features.

The district originated in 1905 when the former Muet Ka region divided into separate administrative areas. It received its formal official status in 1917, establishing the structure that still defines it today.

The district maintains traditional festivals throughout the year, with local communities preserving customs through ceremonies at temples like Wat Phra That Kong Loy.

The area offers accommodation options ranging from budget to premium for visitors. Services and amenities are distributed throughout the district, making it fairly easy to find basic facilities.

The district is home to the Bo Kaeo Pine Tree Garden and Mae Tho National Park, both situated at an elevation of about 700 meters. These protected areas allow visitors to explore native plant and animal life in their natural surroundings.
