Tha Sala (Thai: ท่าศาลา, in Thai pronounced as /tʰâː sǎː.lāː/) is a district (amphoe) of Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phrom Khiri, Nopphitam, and Sichon. To the east is the Gulf of Thailand.
During the thesaphiban administrative reforms five mueang of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Kingdom were put together to form Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. These mueang were Thai Buri, Ron Ka Ro, Klai, Mo Khlan, and Noppitham.[1] At its establishment in 1897 the district was named Klai (กลาย) and divided into the 10 tambons Tha Sala, Tha Khuen, Sa Kaeo, Klai, Thaiburi, Ka Ro, Noppitham, Hua Taphan, Mo Khlan, and Don Tako. The first district officer was Charoen (Mai Sap Nam Sakun), the district office was at the coast in Ban Paknam Thasung. In 1916 the district office was moved to tambon Tha Sala and the district was renamed accordingly.[2]
The western part of the district was split off to form the new minor district Nopphitam in 1995.
Tha Sala is divided into 10 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 110 administrative villages (mubans).
