Contents |
San Kamphaeng borders the districts (from west clockwise) Saraphi, Mueang Chiang Mai, San Sai, Doi Saket, Mae On of Chiang Mai Province and Ban Thi of Lamphun Province.
The district goes back to the Kwaeng Mae Om, which was established in 1902. In 1923 the district was renamed to San Kampaeng.
San Kamphaeng is famous for its many silk factories.
The district is subdivided into 10 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 100 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - San Kamphaeng covers parts of tambon San Kamphaeng and Chae Chang, and the whole tambon Sai Mun; and Ton Pao covers the whole tambon Ton Pao. There are further 8 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
