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 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 23 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
