Mae Wang, Administrative district in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Mae Wang district spans across 601 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from river valleys to mountain slopes of the Thanon Thong Chai Range.
The district received its official status on September 7, 1995, after being separated from San Pa Tong district with four initial tambons in 1990.
The population includes Thai communities in the lowlands near Ban Kad, while Karen, Hmong, and Akha peoples maintain their traditions in higher elevations.
The district divides into five sub-districts with 62 villages, where Ban Kat serves as the main administrative center for government services.
The Mae Wang River system supports extensive rice cultivation through multiple weirs, while at higher elevations stands Thailand's highest educational institution in Khun Wang.
