Phan, Administrative district in southern Chiang Rai, Thailand

The district extends across 1,023 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, encompassing 236 villages distributed among 15 administrative subdivisions.

The administrative region transformed its designation in 1938, dropping the prefix Mueang which became reserved exclusively for capital districts.

The district contains numerous Buddhist temples, including Wat Jee Kong which houses a 3-ton bronze statue of the Sitting Jee Kong Goddess.

Travelers can access Pu Kaeng Waterfall by following the Chiang Rai-Phayao route for 58 kilometers to Ban Pu Kaeng, then turning right for 9 additional kilometers.

The district borders intersect with the Phi Pan Nam mountain range, creating natural boundaries with seven neighboring districts across three provinces.
