History
Chiang Mun was originally part of the district Ban Muang of Chiang Rai Province (which was later renamed to Pong district). On May 12, 1969 the minor district (King Amphoe) Chiang Mun was established as a subordinate of Pong district, consisting of the two tambon Chiang Muan and Sa.[1] The third subdistrict Ban Mang was established in 1970.[2] On April 1, 1974 it was upgraded to a full district.[3] In 1977 it was added to the newly established Phayao province.[4]
Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Dok Khamtai, Pong of Phayao Province, Ban Luang of Nan Province and Song of Phrae Province.
The Phi Pan Nam Mountains dominate the landscape of the district; the Yom River, which has its sources in the range, is an important water resource. The Doi Phu Nang National Park is located in Chiang Muan district.
Education
Most notably, Amphoe Chiang Muan received a large governmental grant for the furthering of rural educational services in the Phayao region. The funding was subsequently used in the construction of the Chiang Muan Wittayakhom School, an advanced junior/senior public highschool which services grades 6-12.
