Mae On

Mae On district spans 442 square kilometers of terrain in northern Thailand, encompassing six subdistricts and 49 administrative villages east of Chiang Mai city.

The district emerged through administrative reorganization in 1994 when authorities separated six tambons from San Kamphaeng district, achieving full district status in 2007.

The district administration follows Thailand's traditional system of tambons, with each of the six subdistricts maintaining its own local administrative organization.

Mae On lies 40 kilometers east of Chiang Mai city, connecting to neighboring districts through a network of roads that facilitate access to Mae Ta Krai National Park.

The limestone cliffs of Crazy Horse Buttress in the Khun Tan Range attract rock climbing enthusiasts, while natural hot springs emerge from the district's geological formations.
