Laplae (Thai: ลับแล) is a district (Amphoe) in the western part of Uttaradit Province, northern Thailand.
Contents |
In the past, the district office of Laplae was located in Mueang Thung Yang. Later it was moved to Mon Cham Sin, about 1 km north of the present location. As the location of the office was inconvenient to reach, Luang Si Phanon Mat ordered to move the district office to Mon Sayammin. At the same time, King Chulalongkorn visited Laplae and chose to reserve Mon Cham Sin for position the Buddha statue named Phra Lua. This statue was built from the gold left when building Phra Phuttha Chinnarat, Phitsanulok Province.
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Mueang Uttaradit, Tron of Uttaradit Province, Si Satchanalai of Sukhothai Province and Den Chai of Phrae Province
The district is subdivided into 8 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 63 villages (muban). There are three townships (thesaban tambon) - Si Phanom Mat covers the whole tambon Si Phanom Mat, Hua Dong parts of tambon Mae Phun, and Thung Yang parts of the tambon Thung Yang and Phai Lom. There are further 7 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
