Pua district

Pua is a district in the upper Nan valley of Nan Province in northern Thailand. The Nan chronicles place the first seat of the Nan kingdom there in the late 13th century, before the capital moved south and was established at the present city of Nan in the 14th century. The district lies among forested mountains, including part of Doi Phu Kha National Park.
