San Kamphaeng (Thai: สันกำแพง, pronounced [sǎn kām.pʰɛ̄ːŋ]; Northern Thai: สันก่ำแปง, pronounced [sǎn kàm.pɛ̄ːŋ]) is a district (amphoe) of Chiang Mai province in northern Thailand.

Geography

San Kamphaeng borders the districts (from west clockwise) Saraphi, Mueang Chiang Mai, San Sai, Doi Saket, Mae On of Chiang Mai Province and Ban Thi of Lamphun province.
