History
Middle Ages
The previous area of Thái Thụy rural district consisted of two districts : Thái Ninh and Thụy Anh. The origin and time of the birth of these two administrative units has not been yet determined so far. However, they were first mentioned in the 6th year of Vĩnh Thịnh (1710) by Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư.[note 1]
XX century
On June 17, 1969, Thái Ninh was merged with Thụy Anh to become Thái Thụy rural district (huyện Thái Thụy), which consisted of 47 communes.
On June 25, 1986, three communes Thụy Lương, Thụy Hà and Thụy Hải were urged by the Government of Vietnam to donate their land to establish Diêm Điền township (thị trấn Diêm Điền). It has begun to be used as the capital of the district since then.
XXI century
On April 13, 2018, the Ministry of Construction issued Decision 487/QĐ-BXD for the recognition of expanded Diêm Điền township (including Diêm Điền township and 9 communes : Thái An, Thái Hòa, Thái Nguyên, Thái Thượng, Thụy Liên, Thụy Lương, Thụy Hà, Thụy Hải, Thụy Trình) as the class-IV municipality[note 2].

Thái Thụy rural district is one of the two coastal districts of Thái Bình province. Therefore, its terrain is almost flat and there is also no mountain.
Diêm Hộ river leads the water from the Luộc river in the Northwest (where in Phù Cừ rural district) to pour into the Tonkin Gulf through Diêm Hộ estuary, thereby almost cutting Thái Thụy rural district into two zones with similar area. Besides, Thái Thụy also has the interlaced river system, making it the locality that owns the most rivers in the Northern Vietnam. That's why it is sometimes called "riverland" (miền sông nước) by the press. Such as : Diêm Hộ, Luộc, Hóa, Trà Lý.
Thái Thụy covers an area of 256,83 km². The district capital lies at Diêm Điền. Thai Thuy is famous for Con Den beach which is far from Thai Binh city about 40km.
