Phitchit Province Bus Station—Phichit, Thailand. - Bus Stations on Waymarking.com

Phichit is a pleasant enough city and province, found ~400kms north of the megalopolis of Bangkok, but it has never been accused of being brash or noisy. Yet, a day or two can be profitably be spent exploring this spot.

Connecting the province to the wider world is the Phichit Bus terminal. This lies near the city centre. In design entirely normal. A long, rectangular, open, but covered, waiting area, with bus bays around. In this station 16 bus bays. At one end of the station toilets and a shop selling food, snacks and whatnot. At the other end, the main entrance to the station and ticket counters. The station sits surrounded by shops, and on one side of the station there is an open parking area for buses. Around the station are 'motor bike taxi drivers' and tuk tuks ready to convey you away.

Judging by the bus bay signs, the buses departing from here travel only to Bangkok (the centre of Thai transport) and to the surrounding provinces. There is no sign of longer distance routes, something I would expect to see. Usually a provincial station has direct routes to the more important provinces of the Kingdom. This means that from here, if one wished to travel to the beaches of Phuket in the south of the country, one would first have to travel to the nearby province of Phitsanulok, where there are a sizeable number of long distance routes. Having said this, there would be any number of local bus routes from this station to the towns and villages within the province.

I did not see a station sign, but there is a large, blank, new sign at the front of the station. I expect that in the fullness of time this will be the station sign. The next waymarker can get this.

Interestingly, even though there is virtually no tourism here and no side of farang (westerners) anywhere nearby, there was a lot of English language in the station. If you do visit, and are a westerner, expect to see a few politely surprised faces and hear a few 'Helloes' cast in your direction.
