Mae Chan (Thai: แม่จัน, pronounced [mɛ̂ː tɕān]; Northern Thai: แม่จั๋น, pronounced [mɛ̂ː tɕǎn]) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Chiang Rai province, northern Thailand.

Geography

[edit]
Rice planting, Mae Chan district

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Mae Sai, Chiang Saen, Doi Luang, Mueang Chiang Rai and Mae Fa Luang of Chiang Rai Province.

Doi Nang Non, the 'mountain of the sleeping lady', is part of the Daen Lao Range and is one of the main geographic features of Mae Chan District.

History

[edit]

The district was created as the successor of Mueang Chiang Saen. The original center of the mueang later became part of the minor district Chiang Saen Luang, so in 1939 this minor district was renamed to Chiang Saen, while the district Chiang Saen itself was renamed Mae Chan.[1]
