Tha Ton, also spelled Thaton (Thai: ท่าตอน), is a sub-district (tambon) of Mae Ai District in the far north of Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.
The river forms part of the border and consequently the village has changed hands numerous times in the turbulent history of the area with the latest change happening in the early-20th century when the border was moved 3.2 km upstream leaving the north bank, previously part of Burma (Myanmar), to Thailand.
The area around Tha Ton is populated by various hill tribes including Yao, Lisu, Lahu, Karen, and Akha.
Since the 1970s, riverboat trips between Chiang Rai and Tha Ton have given foreign tourists as well as native Thais the opportunity to visit jungle, observe different ethnic groups, and see the Fang Plain, bringing an influx of capital into the local economy.
The temple complex includes four huge statues of the Buddha, two in typical Thai-style and two showing Chinese influence.
