History

The minor district (king amphoe) Lam Thap was established on 30 June 1984, when the two tambons Lam Thap and Din Udom were split off from Khlong Thom District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 4 November 1993.[2]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise): Khlong Thom and Khao Phanom of Krabi Province; Thung Yai and Bang Khan of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province; and Wang Wiset of Trang Province.

Administration

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 27 villages (mubans). Lam Thap is a township (thesaban tambon) and covers parts of tambons Lam Thap and Thung Sai Thong. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
