Chiang Dao is the last settled valley on the upper Ping before the road climbs over into the Kok, and the seam between the Mon country below and the Tai muang above.
Wiang Pa Pao is a stockaded valley on the pass between the Ping country and the Kok: ground like this changes hands without anyone recording that it did. The limestone peak Doi Luang Chiang Dao and its cave are a landmark and a holy place.
