The area of Pa Daet was originally dense forest of Phan district. People from other places went there to hunt animals and settle new village. It was created as the minor district (King Amphoe) Pa Daet on June 1 1969, consisting of the single tambon Pa Daet.[1] The minor district was upgraded to a full district on August 21 1975.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Phan, Mueang Chiang Rai, Thoeng of Chiang Rai Province, Chun, Dok Khamtai, Phu Kamyao, Mueang Phayao and Mae Chai of Phayao province.
The important water resource is the Ing River.
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 58 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Pa Daet covers parts of tambon Pa Daet, and Pa Ngae the whole tambon Pa Ngae. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
