Mueang Tak District is a district in Tak Province , serving as a transportation hub and a connecting point to Mae Sot District, the center of Thai-Myanmar border trade. Mueang Tak was formerly known as "Muang Rahang," and was historically inhabited by the Mon people, as evidenced by Mon art found there.
