[edit] History
The area of tambon Wiang was very far from Chiang Dao district center. The government separated Tambon Mueang Ngae and Piang Luang to create a minor district (King Amphoe) on May 5th, 1981.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on November 4th, 1993.[2]
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the northeast clockwise) Chiang Dao of Chiang Mai Province, Pai of Mae Hong Son Province and Shan State of Myanmar.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 26 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
