Neighboring districts are (from the southeast clockwise) Rong Kwang, Nong Muang Khai, Long of Phrae Province, Mae Mo, Ngao of Lampang Province, Dok Khamtai, Chiang Muan of Phayao Province, Ban Luang and Wiang Sa of Nan Province.
The Mae Yom National Park is located in Song district. The everyday life of the villagers there was investigated by Living River Siam because of the possibility that a dam would be built in Kaeng Sua Ten.
Originally named Mueang Song, 1917 the district was renamed to Ban Klang after the name of the central tambon.[1] It was named back to the original name Song in 1939, only leaving out the word Mueang which was reserved for the capital districts of provinces.[2]
The district is subdivided into 8 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 84 villages (muban). Song is a township (thesaban tambon) and covers parts of tambon Ban Nun and Ban Klang. There are further 8 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
