Phichit
Situated in the Lower North some 345 kilometres from Bangkok, Phichit is accessible by both road and rail. Nurtured by two rivers, the Yom and the Nan running parallel to one another north to south, the land is agriculturally fertile. Once the site of an ancient town dating back almost a thousand years ago, Phichit has played a major role in the history of both Sukhothai and Ayutthaya.

Known as the land of the crocodiles, it has been home to this ferocious reptile which has thrived in its waters.There are today several fresh-water crocodile farms. Phichit features in the Thai epic Krai Thong composed by King Rama ll which tells of Chalawan, a powerful crocodile king.
