history

Lan Saka was initially a subdistrict ( King Amphoe ) called Khao Kaeo ( เขา แก้ว ), which was subordinate to Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat . When the administration was moved to Tambon Lan Saka, the district was renamed accordingly. In 1958, Lan Saka was promoted to Amphoe.

There is a ruin in Amphoe Lan Saka called "Taksin's Palace". According to a popular legend, King Taksin (r. 1767–82) is said to have lived here after his deposition and alleged execution (in which, according to this story, someone else died in his place).
