Takua Pa, Administrative district in Phang Nga, Thailand.
The district extends along the Andaman Sea coast between Si Phang Nga National Park and Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park, encompassing eight sub-districts with 51 villages.
Originally named Takola, this area functioned as a vital harbor for trade with Tamil kingdoms during the 13th century Srivijaya period.
Archaeological findings include Tang dynasty ceramics, Indian pottery, and Persian glassware, indicating the presence of diverse trading communities throughout its history.
The district provides transportation connections through local bus services and private vehicles, making it accessible for travelers exploring the Phang Nga province.
The name Takua Pa derives from the Thai word 'takua' meaning lead, despite tin being the primary ore extracted from the region's mines.
