Tha Takiap (Thai: ท่าตะเกียบ, in Thai pronounced as /tʰâː tā.kìa̯p/) is the easternmost district (amphoe) of Chachoengsao province, central Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) Tha Takiap was established on 1 April 1991 by splitting off two tambons from Sanam Chai Khet district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 5 December 1996.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Sanam Chai Khet of Chachoengsao Province; Khao Chakan, Wang Nam Yen, and Wang Sombun of Sa Kaeo province; Kaeng Hang Maeo of Chanthaburi province; and Bo Thong and Ko Chan of Chonburi province.
Tha Takiap is divided into two sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 47 administrative villages (mubans).
