Mae Sot district is 86 km from Tak. It was declared as a district in 1898. Its former name is Phra No Ke. The district is located on the plain flanked by the ranges of mountains in Thailand and Myanmar. It covers an area of about 2,600 sq km; the population consists of hill tribes, migrants from Mueang Tak District, and some Burmese people who have a Thai family here. The history of Mae Sot is still unknown whether it was the town of Chot; Khun Sam Chon, the ruler of Chot, used to lead an army to attack Sukhothai. No old buildings dating back to the Sukhothai period have ever been found. It is therefore conceded that it is not the same town.
At present, an archaeologist has found the remains of an ancient town in a thick forest of Mae Ramat District. This is probably the town of Chot as mentioned in the scripture stone of the Sukhothai period. [Source: TAT]
