Thong Pha Phum, Administrative district in Kanchanaburi, Thailand.

Located at 398 meters elevation, Thong Pha Phum extends along the Khwae Noi River with mountains stretching toward Myanmar's Tanintharyi region.

The district transformed from a minor administrative zone under Sangkhla Buri in 1939 to gain full district status in 1941 with six initial tambons.

The local population maintains strong connections to river life, with fresh fish from Khwae Noi River forming the foundation of regional cooking traditions.

Transportation hubs concentrate around the Municipal Market and Highway 3272 junction, where buses and songthaews provide regular service throughout the district.

The district contains the Vajiralongkorn Dam, multiple national parks, and the former tin mining center of Pilok nestled in the mountainous terrain.
