Mueang Phayao, Administrative district in Phayao, Thailand
The district encompasses fifteen subdistricts at an elevation of 390 meters, including notable communities such as Wiang, Mae Tam, and Mae Na Ruea.
Established in 1095 by Phokhun Si Chom Tham of the Lua Changkharat Dynasty, the district evolved from its original name Phu Kamyao to modern Phayao.
Local temples like Wat Analayo Thipphayaram and Wat Phra That Chom Thong represent the religious heritage of the Lanna region in northern Thailand.
Transportation connections include direct bus services from Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal and flights to nearby Chiang Rai, followed by local transport options.
The district maintains Kwan Phayao, a substantial freshwater reservoir that supplies water to surrounding agricultural lands and supports local fishing communities.
