Mueang Phayao (in Thai pronounced as /mɯ̄a̯ŋ pʰā.jāw/) is the capital district (amphoe mueang) of Phayao province, northern Thailand.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Mai Chai of Phayao Province; Pa Daet of Chiang Rai province; Phu Kamyao, Dok Khamtai of Phayao Province; Ngao and Wang Nuea of Lampang province.
