Das Eigentum — La Villa Ampan
La Villa Ampan is a modest three-star hotel on Phichit’s main road, a short walk from the Bueng Si Fai lake and temple complex. The lobby is clean and air-conditioned, with a small reception desk, tiled floors and a faint smell of jasmine from the garden. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a reliable base for exploring the town’s temples and markets, not luxury or nightlife. The USP is its location: within ten minutes’ walk of both the bus station and the main market, with free parking for those driving.
Chroniken von Phichit
Phichit was established in the 11th century as part of the Sukhothai Kingdom, later serving as a frontier post for Ayutthaya. The city’s name means ‘beautiful city’, and its old town retains a grid of narrow streets lined with wooden shophouses from the early 20th century. The 19th-century Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat temple, with its towering prang, marks the historic centre. Today Phichit is known for its annual crocodile races in April and for maintaining a quiet, provincial character distinct from the tourist hubs of Sukhothai and Phitsanulok.

Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Phichit
- The Phichit Bus Terminal has been upgraded with a new covered waiting area and a small 7-Eleven, making waits less punishing in the heat.
- Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat’s main chedi is under scaffolding for restoration through late 2026 – the site is open but views from the top are blocked.
- Local police have stepped up enforcement of helmet laws on motorbikes; fines are 500 baht, so rent a scooter with two helmets if you plan to explore the surrounding villages.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Villa Ampan, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (3rd to 5th) facing away from ถนนสีมาลา, i.e., the rear or courtyard side. These should be quieter and cooler, with less street hum.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the front (ถนนสีมาลา) on lower floors (1st–2nd) — these get road noise from the main street and dust from traffic.
Best views
Upper-floor rear-facing rooms may offer a limited view of the surrounding low-rise city and possibly a patch of greenery. Front-facing rooms look onto ถนนสีมาลา, a busy main road — less attractive but more urban.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are quietest because they sit above street-level noise and are away from the ground-floor lobby and lift activity. The lift serves all floors with no stairs-only sections, so upper floors remain easy to reach.
🔊 Noise notes
The main noise source is traffic on ถนนสีมาลา, a through road in Phichit town centre. Expect motorbikes, tuk-tuks, and the occasional truck, especially during daytime. The lift may generate a low hum on adjacent rooms, though likely mild given it's a 3-star hotel with standard insulation.
Insider tips
1. The hotel charges 150 THB per night for on-site parking — if you don't need it, park free on the street nearby (check local signs for restrictions) or use the public car park at 200 THB/day as backup. 2. Free 100 Mbps wifi is decent — no login needed, so you can stream or work easily. Request a room on floor 4 or 5 for the best balance of quiet and connectivity.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
