Fak Tha (in Thai pronounced as /fâːk tʰâː/) is a district (amphoe) of Uttaradit province, northern Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) Fak Tha was established in 1937 as a subordinate of Nam Pat district.[1] On 22 July 1958 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Ban Khok and Nam Pat of Uttaradit Province, and Na Muen of Nan province.
The main river of the district is the Pat River, a tributary of the Nan River.
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 33 villages (muban). Fak Tha is a sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Fak Tha and Long Don. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
