Doi Lo (Thai: ดอยหล่อ, pronounced [dɔ̄ːj lɔ̀ː]; Northern Thai: 
) is a district (amphoe) of Chiang Mai province in northern Thailand.
Geography
[edit]Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise) Chom Thong, Mae Wang, San Pa Tong of Chiang Mai Province, Pa Sang and Wiang Nong Long of Lamphun province.
History
[edit]The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 1 April 1995, when four tambons were split off from Chom Thong.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] On 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
