7.4Highlights and sights around Uttaradit — nature, city and culture
The fruit Uttaradit is known for, ripening in the rainy season with sweet, juicy flesh. The town holds a langsat and local-produce festival every year
A large earth-fill dam across the Nan River with a broad reservoir, viewpoints, and pretty gardens — a landmark of the province
A legendary old district that still has wooden houses, the Laplae town gateway, hillside orchards, and a quiet community life to wander through
Native durian varieties from Laplae — fine, sweet, and creamy with small seeds. They draw people right to the orchards in the rainy season
The Ban Nam Phi smithing community has made knives and swords from an ancient iron ore source since the days of royal sword-making — a long-standing local craft
A pair of old temples that locals and visitors alike come to pay respects at, home to both Phra Thaen Sila At and a large standing Buddha

Steamed rice-flour sheets wrapped around blanched vegetables with broth poured over — a local Laplae breakfast you'll find around the morning market
Rice noodles wrapped with vegetables and egg into bite-size rolls, dipped in a sweet-and-sour sauce — a well-known Laplae snack
Khao soi, nam ngiao, kaeng hang le, sai ua, and crispy pork (khaep mu) are easy to find across town — the southern-northern take on the cuisine
The province's signature fruit, in season during the rains — buy it fresh at the orchards or roadside stalls at local prices

Explore Phitsanulok →Uttaradit sits on the seam between the North and the central plains, and plenty of people drive straight through it on the way to Phrae or Nan without stopping. That's a shame, because there's a lot to see. The province is famous for sweet langsat and longkong that come out in the rainy season, and Sirikit Dam holds back the Nan River to form a wide reservoir. Two long-revered shrines, Phra Thaen Sila At and the standing Buddha, are the town's spiritual anchors. Over in Laplae district you'll find a legendary old town with wooden houses, orchards of long-laplae and lin-laplae durian, and the hand-forged knives of Ban Nam Phi, made the old way for generations. If you like quiet towns without the crowds, Uttaradit is easier to enjoy than you'd expect.
Best time: November–February is cool and pleasant; the rainy season from July–September is when langsat and long-laplae durian come into season
