Tha Pla (Thai: ท่าปลา) is a district (Amphoe) of Uttaradit Province, northern Thailand.
[edit] History
The district Tha Pla was originally part of Nan Province. In 1923 it was reassigned to Uttaradit Province.

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Fak Tha, Nam Pat, Thong Saen Khan and Mueang Uttaradit of Uttaradit Province, Den Chai, Sung Men and Mueang Phrae of Phrae Province, and Na Muen of Nan Province.
The main river of the district is the Nan River, with the Sirikit Dam creating a 250 km² artificial lake. The Pat River joins the Nan shortly below the dam.
