Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Doi Lo, Chom Thong, Mae Chaem, Samoeng, Hang Dong and San Pa Tong of Chiang Mai Province.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on April 1, 1990, when the four tambon Ban Kat, Thung Pi, Thung Ruang Thong and Mae Win were split off from San Pa Tong district.[1] On September 7, 1995 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 62 villages (muban). Ban Kat is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Ban Kat and Don Pao. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
