Mueang Tak, Administrative capital district in Tak Province, Thailand
Mueang Tak is the main administrative district in Tak Province, located in western Thailand. The Ping River runs through the area and creates a natural feature dividing different communities.
The district was officially established in 1886 after being relocated from an earlier location. Its administrative structure has undergone changes since that time.
The district contains fourteen sub-districts, including Rahaeng and Nong Luang, each maintaining distinct community traditions and local administrative structures.
The district sits in a region with warm and humid conditions typical of western Thailand. Visitors should prepare for tropical weather and bring light, breathable clothing.
The Yan-hi Dam, built between 1953 and 1964, sends electricity all the way to Bangkok while supplying water to the entire region. This structure links local development to the nation's power needs.
