Li

Li is an administrative district in the southern part of Lamphun Province, made up of several sub-districts and villages spread across the terrain. The area includes both elevated zones and valleys where local communities are organized through township offices.

The district was founded in 1911 and originally called Mueang Li before being renamed in 1917. This change reflected administrative reorganization happening across the region at that time.

Archaeological discoveries in Mae Lan sub-district reveal iron smelting operations dating back 2,000 years, indicating early metallurgical knowledge in the region.

The district is accessible via local roads and village paths, with two administrative centers handling local government from different areas. Visitors should expect rural conditions and limited services typical of a provincial region.

Archaeological findings in the Mae Lan area show evidence of metalworking from earlier periods, suggesting this region had old crafts expertise. These discoveries indicate the area has been a center of practical knowledge for a long time.
