Uttaradit (อุตรดิตถ์) is a city in Lower Northern Thailand.

[edit] Understand

A province in Lower Northern Thailand, Uttradit has a long history developing through the years since pre-historic time.

The site of the original town, then called Bang Pho Tha It, was located on the right bank of the Nan River. It flourished as a port for goods transportation. As a result, King Rama V elevated its status into a province and re-named it Uttradit, literally the Port of the North.

Uttradit is located 491 kilometres from Bangkok and covers an area of 7,838 square kilometres

Some of the most popular places to eat include a large food-court located on the top floor of Friday's grocery store located downtown. Here you will find a mix of Thai dishes, desserts, and beverages very reasonably priced. Like so many food-courts in Thailand, customers exchange their baht for food coupons which are then used to pay vendors.

KFC can be found inside the Lotus department store downtown Uttaradit along with a doughnut shop, and another Thai food court. The New York Restaurant located downtown (in between Lotus and the bus station) serves a variety of American and German dishes as well. Here you can find that cheeseburger you've been craving, or more formal dinner with a glass of red or white wine or German beer. Thai food is also available (starts from 45 Baht).
