Thong Pha Phum ( _th. ทองผาภูมิ) is a district ("Amphoe") in the northern part of Kanchanaburi Province, central Thailand.

History

At first Thong Pha Phum was the minor district ("King Amphoe") Sangkhla Buri, a subordinate of Wang Ka district. In 1939 the name Sangkhla Buri was assigned to Wang Ka, while the minor district was renamed to Thong Pha Phum. [cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=56|issue=0 ก|pages=354–364|title=พระราชกฤษฎีกาเปลี่ยนนามอำเภอ กิ่งอำเภอ และตำบลบางแห่ง พุทธศักราช ๒๔๘๒|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2482/A/354.PDF|date=April 17 1939|language=Thai] On May 20 1941 it was upgraded to a full district, while at the same time Sangkhlaburi was reduced to a minor district. [cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=58|issue=0 ง|pages=1238|title=ประกาศสำนักนายกรัฐมนตรี เรื่อง ยกฐานะกิ่งอำเภอขึ้นเป็นอำเภอและยุบอำเภอลงเป็นกิ่ง จังหวัดกาญจนบุรี|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2484/D/1238.PDF|date=May 20 1941|language=Thai] It then consisted of the six "tambon" Tha Khanun, Hin Dat, Dika , Chalae, Pilok and Linthin.
