Phichit
พิจิตร
Phichit is steeped in the legend of Chalawan the crocodile, a folk tale commemorated by a crocodile-shaped shrine and annual boat racing festival on the Nan River. The province is one of the central plains' most productive rice-growing areas, with vast paddies that flood spectacularly during the monsoon season. Bueng Si Fai, a large urban lake in the heart of the capital, is famous for its enormous freshwater crocodiles and lotus-filled waters.
