Where to Stay in Uttaradit: Town, Laplae and Sirikit Dam

Uttaradit is a small river town on the Nan River that most visitors use as a base for the old temples in Laplae, the town's own sights and, with a car, Sirikit Dam. This page lists five places in three parts of the province so you can pick the one that fits your trip.

We list only five places, and we say so up front. We include a hotel only if it has a live official website whose text we could open and quote. Chatchawan Resort, Areena Resort and Hotel, Sunee Boutique Hotel, Jutha Mansion, Red Heritage Hotel, Thapjumras Boutique Hotel, Sinsawat Resort and Ton Thong Resort Hotel showed only booking-site listings in our search, so they are not here. We show no prices because rates change with date and room type, and we have not stayed at any of these hotels. Every card shows facts taken from the hotel's own website and checked on 19 October 2026 after a separate verification pass, with the source linked.

How to choose

1. Decide first whether you want the town centre, the Laplae valley or the dam. Three hotels are in the town centre: Seeharaj, Araya and Friday. Hua Dum Resort is in the Laplae zone, and Khun Saichol Villa is EGAT's guest-house site at Sirikit Dam in Tha Pla district.
2. Read the distances as the hotels' own claims, and note that sources disagree. Hua Dum says it is about 3 km from Wat Phra Thaen Sila At and about 12 km from the railway station and town, and says Sirikit Dam is about 60 km from the Laplae zone. The provincial tourism page puts the dam 58 km from town, while Wikipedia says 45 km. Treat every figure as a hint and open the map pin before you book.
3. Most sights are outside the town, so a car or a driver helps. We found no public transport details on these hotel sites, so ask the hotel what it can arrange, and confirm the final rate with tax, parking and cancellation terms. If you arrive by train, check whether you need Uttaradit station or Sila At station, which are different stations in the town.

Area comparison

No hotel price is quoted here because we cannot verify a current rate for your dates. Each hotel card gives the source and the date each fact was checked.

How you arrive

Train, bus or drive to the town; check Uttaradit or Sila At station

Three hotels on this list are in or near the centre. Seeharaj says it is the first international-standard hotel in town with 152 Lanna-style rooms, Araya lists a 25-metre salt-water pool and an EV charging point, and Friday Hotel is on the 5th floor of the Friday department-store building. The provincial tourism page lists public parking at the Phichai monument, so a short walk or ride covers most town sights.

Choose it if: You arrive by train or bus and want a base for the town sights and day trips to Laplae.

Skip it if: Your main plan is the Laplae temples or Sirikit Dam and you want a shorter drive.

Mistake to avoid: Do not confuse Uttaradit station with Sila At station, which is a different station in town.

How you arrive

Drive; the resort says it is about 12 km from the station and town

One hotel on this list is in the Laplae zone. Hua Dum Resort's own site calls it the closest stay to Wat Phra Thaen Sila At, about 3 km away, in Chai Chumphon subdistrict with Wi-Fi and parking, and says the Laplae zone is about 60 km from Sirikit Dam. Laplae is known for the old temples, the museum, the city gate and durian and langsat orchards.

Choose it if: The Laplae temples and fruit season are your main plan and you have a car.

Skip it if: You arrive by train and want to walk to shops and the station.

Mistake to avoid: Do not assume a short walk to the station; Hua Dum gives about 12 km by its own figure.

Drive; the dam is 45 km (Wikipedia) or 58 km (provincial page) from the town

One place on this list is at the dam. EGAT's guest-house site gives the address as 40 Moo 10, Pha Lueat, Tha Pla, lists houses named Baan Rang Nok Krachok, Rang Nang Nuan, Rang Nok Krajab and Phu Nan, and mentions a golf course and meeting rooms. The Nang Nuan house is described as a private holiday house on a hill.

Choose it if: Sirikit Dam and the lake are the reason for your trip and you have your own transport.

Skip it if: You want restaurants, the railway station or a base for the temples in Laplae.

Mistake to avoid: Do not expect a town; the dam is far from the station and the old temples, and the distance figures differ by source.

Hand-picked places to stay

Examples of established Uttaradit hotels, spread across areas and budget bands.

Friday Hotel

Uttaradit town centre Budget

• The site says the hotel is in the centre of Uttaradit, on the 5th floor of the Friday department store building. [Source]
• It says it holds the TAT SHA Plus hygiene-standard mark. [Source]
• It lists Standard, Superior, Deluxe and Suite rooms. [Source]
• It has a restaurant and pub called The Garden Pub & Restaurant. [Source]

Suits: It suits travellers who want a town-centre room above a shopping centre, with food and shops downstairs.

Keep in mind: Rooms are on an upper floor of a department-store building, and the hotel has a pub and karaoke, so it may be livelier than a quiet guesthouse.

Hua Dum Resort

Laplae valley Budget

• The home page calls it the closest stay to Wat Phra Thaen Sila At. [Source]
• Its own stay guide says it is only about 3 kilometres from Wat Phra Thaen Sila At. [Source]
• The same guide says the resort is in Chai Chumphon subdistrict in the Laplae zone and has Wi-Fi and parking. [Source]
• The guide says the Laplae zone is about 60 kilometres from Sirikit Dam, roughly an hour's drive. [Source]

Suits: It suits pilgrims and travellers who want a simple room in the Laplae valley near Wat Phra Thaen Sila At and the durian orchards.

Keep in mind: It is about 12 km (by its own figure) from the railway station and the town, so without a car you will rely on taxis or songthaews; distances are the resort's own.

Khun Saichol Villa (EGAT guest houses, Sirikit Dam)

Sirikit Dam and Tha Pla Mid-range

• The EGAT site gives the address as 40 Moo 10, Pha Lueat subdistrict, Tha Pla district, Uttaradit. [Source]
• It lists several guest-house types: Baan Rang Nok Krachok (including a suite), Baan Rang Nang Nuan, Baan Rang Nok Krajab and Baan Phu Nan. [Source]
• The Nang Nuan house is described as a holiday house on a hill, private, with nature all around. [Source]
• The site lists a golf course and meeting rooms alongside the houses. [Source]

Suits: It suits visitors whose main goal is Sirikit Dam and the lake, in a quiet spot run by the dam operator.

Keep in mind: It is far from the town and the station (the dam is about 45 km north of the city per Wikipedia, or 58 km per the provincial tourism page), so you need your own transport.

Before you book

• Open the map link for the area and then check the hotel's exact pin. A neighbourhood name can cover a wide area.
• Check the final rate with tax, payment timing, cancellation terms and what the room includes.
• If arriving late, confirm the check-in method and the last transport that actually runs.
• Hua Dum Resort's own figures say it is about 3 km from Wat Phra Thaen Sila At and about 12 km from the station. Wikipedia and the provincial page are not consistent with each other on the town distances, so treat both numbers as the hotel's claims and check the map.
• Seeharaj's site is mainly in Thai, and Araya's home page gives no street address.
• Khun Saichol Villa is run by EGAT at the dam. We found no booking, price or check-in information in the text we quoted, so contact EGAT before you plan around it.
