Thap Put

Thap Put District has a topography of forest and mountains, about two-thirds of the total area. There are common plains along the valleys and rivers. These plains are fertile for farming and animal husbandry, rubber plantations and orchards caused by the collapse of the land.

The coastline is characterized by long and indented stripes known as “sea estuaries” and therefore fertile mangrove forests are important for coastal aquaculture. The name of the district comes from the immigrants who called their community “Ban Thap Put”, meaning huts built with thatched leaves or shields and this name has been used since then.
