The area of Mae Ramat was occupied by Karen people for 100 years. Many people from northern provinces of Thailand moved to establish a new village there. Later the village grew bigger and became the Tambon Mae Ramat. The government upgraded the tambon to a minor district (king amphoe) in 1897. It was upgraded to a full district in 1951.
The important river of the district is the Mae Ramat River.
Economyedit
The district is the site of the Ler Tor Royal Project. Ler Tor village is in a mountainous area at 500 metres to 1,200 m elevation. In the area there are more than 5,610 Pgakauyau or Karen people in six villages and 14 communities. Before the royal project introduced villagers to other cash crops, the villagers grew opium poppies.[1]
Administrationedit
The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 57 villages (mubans). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) in the district, Mae Ramat and Mae Chao Rao, each covering parts of the same-named tambon. There are a further six tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
