The topography of Tha Thong subdistrict is fertile lowlands. The subdistrict is bordered to the north by Ban Krang subdistrict, to the east by Wat Chan, Nai Mueang and Bueng Phra subdistricts, to the south by Tha Pho subdistrict and to the west by Bang Rakam district.

The area to the west of this irrigation canal is for agriculture and the area to the east of this irrigation canal is for urbanization.[2]
