History

Mae Phrik was created in 1904 as a minor district (king amphoe) in Thoen District. It was upgraded to a full district in 1958.[1]

Administration

The district is divided into four subdistricts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 29 villages (mubans). There are two subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambons): Mae Phrik covers parts of tambons Mae Phrik and tambon Mae Pu. There are a further two tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

Economy

Tambon Pha Pang's population declined from 1,700 persons in 2004 to roughly 900 persons, half of them elderly, in 2019. To combat economic deterioration, the Foundation for Phapang Community Development was founded in 2014. It has undertaken a number of revitalization projects in the area.[3]

gollark: Especially GT:NH.
gollark: GregTech, from what I've heard, seems very hard.
gollark: There isn't time gating like that, although you need several billion RF stored and/or several tens of kRF/t of production to start up a reactor.
gollark: The hard part is that the electromagnets require large amounts of *somewhat* annoying to get resources (tough alloy), and the "fusion core" requires elite plating, requiring a bunch of uranium-238 and "crystal binder", which requires "calcium sulfate" which requires a large complex chemical processing setup.
gollark: NuclearCraft has fusion reactors which I've made a few times. They need a lot of resources and also *somewhat* hard to make stuff.
