The rivers [[Nan River|Nan]] and [[Yom River|Yom]] flow through the Phichit province, before they join shortly before the [[Chao Phraya]] is formed. The province mainly consists of low fertile river plains, making [[rice]] and [[nelumbo|lotus]] the main crops.

 

The town Phichit was established in 1058 by Phraya Kotabongthevaraja, and was first part of the [[Sukhothai kingdom]], and later of [[Ayutthaya kingdom|Ayutthaya]].

 

The name of the main city changed several times. At first it was called ''Sra Luang'' (city of the royal pond), in Ayutthaya times it was called ''Okhaburi'' (city in the swamp), and then finally ''Phichit'' (beautiful city).

 

The [[Seals of The Provinces of Thailand|provincial seal]] shows a pond, which refers to the old name of Phichit, ''Mueang Sra Luang'' (meaning ''city at the royal pond''). The [[Banyan]] tree in front refers to the temple Wat Pho Prathab Chang. The temple was built in 1669-71 by King [[Luang Sorasak]], who was born in the village of Pho Prathab Chang, between a Banyan and a [[Sacred Fig]].

Built on the west bank of the Nan River within town limit in 1845, '''Wat Tha Luang (วัดท่าหลวง)''' today houses Luang Pho Phet (หลวงพ่อเพชร), a Chiang Saen-style Buddhist statue cast in bronze.

 

'''Wat Bang Khlan (วัดบางคลาน)'''. It was the resident temple of the highly revered monk, the late '''Luang Pho Ngoen (หลวงพ่อเงิน)'''. The Chai Bowon Museum inside the temple collects ancient items such as votive tablets, Buddha statues and earthenwares for display.

 

 

'''Fruit-growing''' is one of Phichit's major occupations. Among its more well-known produce are pomelo, jack-fruit, Krathon and Maprang. Fruits are also use in making several kinds of products.

A popular '''handicraft''' of the province is the colourful '''hand-woven fabric (ผ้าทอมือ)'''.

 

'''Boat racing (งานแข่งเรือประเพณี)''' is a traditional event of long standing. It is usually held after the homage-paying rites to the province's principal Buddha statue during September each year on the Nan River in front of Wat Tha Luang.
