Contents

The area of Mae Fa Luang was separated from Mae Chan district and created as a minor district (King Amphoe) on April 1st, 1992.[1] Originally it comprised the three tambon Thoet Thai, Mae Salong Nai and Mae Salong Nok. The fourth subdistrict Mae Fa Luang was created in 1996. The minor district was official upgraded to a full district on December 5th, 1996.[2]

The name Mae Fa Luang was given by Princess Mother Srinagarindra, who was commonly known as "Mae Fa Luang" (lit. Royal Mother from the sky) by the hill tribe people of the area.

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Mae Sai, Mae Chan, Mueang Chiang Rai of Chiang Rai Province and Mae Ai of Chiang Mai Province. To the northwest is Shan State of Myanmar.

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 87 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
