San Kamphaeng borders the districts (from west clockwise) Saraphi, Mueang Chiang Mai, San Sai, Doi Saket, Mae On of Chiang Mai Province and Ban Thi of Lamphun province. The area contains a large section of Hot springs with mineral baths that attracts many tourists and locals. The area also features several caves, most notable the Muang On Caves which contain Buddhist shrines. Near the cave you can find a group of monkeys - rare to see in Northern Thailand.

The district dates back to khwaeng Mae Om, which was established in 1902. In 1923 the district was renamed San Kamphaeng.

The district is divided into 10 sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 100 villages (mubans). There are two townships (thesaban tambons). San Kamphaeng covers parts of tambon San Kamphaeng and Chae Chang, and the entire tambon Sai Mun. Ton Pao covers the entire tambon of Ton Pao. There are a further eight tambon administrative organizations (TAO). • No. — Name — Thai name — Villages — Pop. • |1. — San Kamphaeng — สันกำแพง — 14 — 13,686 • |2. — Sai Mun — ทรายมูล — 7 — 4,230 • |3. — Rong Wua Daeng — ร้องวัวแดง — 11 — 5,718 • |4. — Buak Khang — บวกค้าง — 13 — 7,851 • |5. — Chae Chang — แช่ช้าง — 9 — 7,585 • |6. — On Tai — ออนใต้ — 11 — 5,371 • |10. — Mae Pu Kha — แม่ปูคา — 9 — 5,969 • |11. — Huai Sai — ห้วยทราย — 8 — 6,217 • |12. — Ton Pao — ต้นเปา — 10 — 11,006 • |13. — San Klang — สันกลาง — 8 — 6,088 Numbers 7–9,14,15 are tambon which now belong to Mae On district.
