Mae Rim

Mae Rim covers 443 square kilometers of mountainous terrain north of Chiang Mai city, containing eleven subdistricts and ninety-one traditional villages.

The region transformed from Khwaeng Mae Rim status to a full administrative district in 1914, marking a significant change in local governance structure.

Local hill tribes, including Karen and Hmong communities, maintain their traditional practices through handicrafts, ceremonies, and agricultural techniques across the district.

The district sits at 360 meters elevation, offering year-round moderate temperatures and direct road connections to Chiang Mai city center.

Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden presents Southeast Asian flora collections and leads regional conservation initiatives through research and educational programs.
