Pua

Located in northern Thailand at an elevation of 743 meters, Pua district encompasses twelve sub-districts across 657 square kilometers of mountainous terrain.

The district originated from Tai Lue migrations preceding the establishment of Nan city, developing into a central administrative region of northern Thailand.

Local markets in Pua showcase traditional Tai Lue textile production, reflecting the preservation of regional craftsmanship through generations of artisans.

The district functions as a transportation center with direct connections to Nan city 50 kilometers south and routes leading to Phayao through mountain passages.

Farmers in Pua are transitioning from traditional maize cultivation to coffee production, reducing deforestation while maintaining agricultural productivity.
