Thoen

The district contains eight subdistricts across 1,634 square kilometers of land between the Khun Tan Range and Phi Pan Nam Mountains at 707 meters elevation.

The area changed its designation from Mueang Thoen to Thoen in 1938 following administrative reforms that restricted the use of Mueang to capital districts.

Wat Wiang temple exhibits the northern Thai Lanna architectural style with its distinctive wiharn structure and influences from the Chiang Saen period.

The district maintains a network of local administrative organizations, including two subdistrict municipalities and six tambon administrative organizations serving 61,694 residents.

Mae Wa National Park stretches across the western section, featuring multiple mountain ranges and diverse forest ecosystems with numerous orchid species.
