Uttaradit Travel

Best time to visit

The climate of most of Thailand is governed by three seasons: rainy (roughly May–Oct), caused by the southwest monsoon dumping moisture gathered from the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand; cool (Nov–Feb); and hot (March–May).

Overall, the cool season is the best time to visit Thailand in general and Uttaradit in particular. Bear in mind, however, that it’s also the busiest season, so forward planning is essential.

Check the below table for the general idea of Uttaradit weather throughout the year.

Here you will find a very reasonably priced mix of Thai dishes, desserts, and beverages. As in so many food courts in Thailand, customers exchange their baht for food coupons which are then used to pay vendors.

KFC can be found beside the Lotus department store on the Pitsanulok Road - about 2.5km south-west , along with a doughnut shop and another Thai food court. Free drinking water from the taps behind the info desk. 

The New York Restaurant (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 enjoy a more formal dinner accompanied by a glass of red or white wine or German beer. Thai food is also available (starts from 45 Baht).

Additionally, Uttaradit has several coffee shops, a Pizza Company take-away or delivery restaurant, and several Thai restaurants serving local food. Overall, there are many great places to dine in Uttaradit. For those who speak little Thai, however, New York Restaurant,which has both English- and German-speaking staff, is the best choice.

Street Eats

Restaurants within the City centre do not exist! There are a couple of street eat stalls for both breakfast and dinner where you can get a decent meal for about B35, and there is the occasional coffee/Tea stall also. If you want a decent meal, out on the road from the bus station to the City, are a few places which appear to do decent meals.

Drink

Beverage options in Uttaradit are plentiful. As noted above, there a several small coffee shops located throughout the city, many of which also serve desserts.

If you are interested in a "night out on the town" you may want to consider visiting The Crystal Palm disco. Here you will find a selection of Thai whisky and beer. This establishment is in fact a disco with live performances onstage, attracting a young crowd.

For those who wish to drink casually, the Treehouse Restaurant and Bar may be your place of choice. Located on the outskirts of the city, you can expect to find a warm, casual, and romantic place to dine and drink under a dimly lit balcony-styled outdoor eatery. A live band often plays more adult contemporary music while you dine under the stars. Indoor seating is also available.
