What's Pichit like?

[Harrisfan]

Is it pretty underated or pretty chit? 

[bkk6060]

When the top attractions at a place are temples, I give it a miss.

[doctormann]

My Missus comes from there - a few km from Pichit town.

I haven't been there for quite a while because, to be honest, it's about as interesting as watching paint dry.

As I recall, there is a crocodile park where you can actually feed the crocs.  There is also a large, concrete croc that you can go inside.

Also, the usual temples but that's about it.

I went to Phitsanulok and its big but uninteresting. Not many options between Lampang and Nakhon Sawan to stop.

Just like every other province, town, tourist don't visit.   Smalls-ville, and Muang only has 120k people, maybe, and just over half million in the whole province.

 

Like most of TH, need to self entertain, unless you actually think most Wats or parks here are actual tourist attractions.

 

Don't think I ever even bothered to overnight there, and that's rare, as few provinces I haven't slept in, at least 1 night.

There's a Croc Rock Pub

It appears to have been around for a number of years under different guises.

Well it's a long train ride and sometimes these small towns are fun. If we only live once why not????

 

I'd rather visit 200 towns than 10.

a baking hot boring hellhole with nothing to do and no one to do it with. Picture being transported back to live in a prehistoric desert.

Says stalker boy who lives in mum's basement.

[Kinok Farang]

I enjoyed my stay there.The town is clean and walkable in one day.On the main rail-line (next stop Pilok)and easy enough to go east to Petchabun or west to Kampang-phet.

Which just goes to prove my point that you behave like a primary school kid and not as a responsible adult with your pointless posts.

Something original from you would be truly original.

I agree about it acting like a schoolboy but it is never humerous.

[Jeff the Chef]

I live on the borders of Phichit and Phitsanulok, lovely quiet backwater, nice people, easy going lifestyle, if you want Pattaya style entertainment good luck finding it.

Great place to retire, if you're happy with what you've got, good road network to Bangkok, easy 4 hour drive, Mae Sot, 3 hours, Chiang Mai, about 5 hours.

There is a ex-pat community that meets up on a regular basis, a few play golf.

[Mason45]

The best thing to come out of Pichit is the main road back to Bangkok. Seriously I was there 20 years ago and for a tourist it was devoid of interest, In saying that my Thai wife thoroughly enjoyed it.

I disagree,any form of toilet humour is usually hilarious to me.Probably because i too am a schoolboy at heart.

I posted, just stay in the Muang / capital city of province.  Anything else, too small and boring, along with, might drop you off in the middle of nowhere, with no transport around.

 

I'd search for the most convenient guesthouse, closest to the best restaurant and or pub.  Pluses, if it has a view, lake or stream.

 

Nothing else needed, especially if you take some companionship of your choosing with you.
