Phichai, Administrative district in Uttaradit, Thailand

The district of Phichai spans 736.7 square kilometers and contains eleven sub-districts, including Nai Mueang, Ban Dara, and Tha Sak within Uttaradit province.

Mueang Phichai originated in the 15th century under King Trailokanat as a fortified frontier town, with remnants visible at Wat Nah Phrathat's ancient chedi.

The district maintains traditional Thai administrative practices through its organization of ninety-seven villages across eleven sub-districts, each with local governance structures.

Located in northern Thailand at 53 meters elevation, Phichai connects to neighboring districts of Tron, Thong Saen Khan, Wat Bot, and Phrom Phiram.

The district underwent relocation northward in 1887, transforming from a major town into its current status while retaining elements of its historical significance.
