Tha Luang (Thai: ท่าหลวง, pronounced [tʰâː lǔa̯ŋ]) is a district (amphoe) in eastern part of Lopburi Province, central Thailand.
History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on November 15, 1978, when the four tambon Tha Luang, Sab Champha, Nong Phak Waen and Kaeng Phak Kut were split off from Chai Badan.[1] On May 26, 1989 it was upgraded to full Amphoe status.[2]
Geography
The Pa Sak Cholasit reservoir is the main water resource of the district, used for fishery and as well as for irrigation.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Chai Badan and Lam Sonthi of Lopburi, Muak Lek of Saraburi Province, and Phatthana Nikhom of Lopburi.
Administration
The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 43 villages (muban). Ban Tha Luang has subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) status and covers parts of tambon Tha Luang. There are 6 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
