Phichit, Province in lower northern Thailand

The Yom and Nan rivers flow through Phichit Province, creating fertile agricultural lands that support extensive rice and lotus cultivation throughout the region.

The province emerged as a strategic center during the Sukhothai period in 1058 when Phraya Kotabongthevaraja established the initial settlement known as Sa Luang.

Traditional boat races take place each September on the Nan River near Wat Tha Luang, following ceremonies dedicated to the provincial Buddha statue.

Phichit Province contains twelve administrative districts, with the main hospital and government facilities concentrated in Mueang Phichit district.

The province maintains numerous freshwater crocodile farms and features in the Thai epic Krai Thong, written by King Rama II about a mythical crocodile king.
