Mae Suai, Administrative district in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand.
Mae Suai is an administrative district in Chiang Rai Province in northern Thailand. The area is characterized by the Khun Tan mountain range along its western edge and consists of several subdistricts spread across rolling terrain.
The district was established in 1905 from the consolidation of two earlier administrative areas and takes its name from the Suai River. This founding shaped the structure of what is today a northern Thai district.
Mae Suai encompasses seven subdistricts, including Pa Daet and Wawi, where local communities maintain northern Thai traditions through festivals and daily practices.
The area comprises several administrative municipalities and connects with neighboring districts through various routes. It is best to visit during the cooler months when the hilly terrain is easier to explore.
Located at 672 meters above sea level, Mae Suai connects with multiple neighboring districts while maintaining distinct geographical boundaries within Chiang Rai province.
