The Best Hotels and Resorts in Phichit Province
Phichit (Thai: พิจิตร) is a province (changwat) of Thailand. It lies 330 km due north of Bangkok. Neighboring provinces are (from north clockwise) Phitsanulok, Phetchabun, Nakhon Sawan, and Kamphaeng Phet.
The Nan and Yom Rivers flow through Phichit Province, joining shortly before the Chao Phraya is formed. The province mainly consists of low fertile river plains, making rice and lotus the main crops.
The town of Phichit was established in 1058 by Phraya Kotabongthevaraja, and was first part of the Sukhothai Kingdom, and later of Ayutthaya.
The name of the main city changed several times. At first it was called Sa Luang ("city of the royal pond"). In Ayutthaya times it was called Okhaburi ("city in the swamp"), and then finally Phichit ("beautiful city").
