Mueang Tak, Administrative capital district in Tak Province, Thailand

Mueang Tak extends across 1,599 square kilometers of western Thailand terrain, intersected by the Ping River and bordered by multiple neighboring districts.

The district underwent relocation from its initial position in Tambon Ko Taphao and received official district status in 1886 with subsequent administrative modifications.

The district contains fourteen sub-districts, including Rahaeng and Nong Luang, each maintaining distinct community traditions and local administrative structures.

Located at an elevation of 125 meters, the district operates in UTC+7 time zone and connects travelers to nearby cities like Mawlamyine and Yangon.

The Yan-hi Dam, constructed between 1953 and 1964, provides electrical power to Bangkok while managing water resources for the entire district.
