Modern Resort Phichit — Single-Storey Rooms You Park Right Outside, Harder to Find in Phichit Than You'd Think
Phichit doesn't have a long list of places to stay, and most of them are shophouse rooms or older hotels in the town centre. Modern Resort Phichit stands out a little because it's a single-storey resort that opened in 2019 where you park your car right outside your room, set on Khlong Khachen Road just outside the town. Guests who pass through say the same two things over and over — it's quiet and it's clean. One thing to know up front: there's no pool and no gym here. It's a simple place for drivers passing through or anyone in Phichit on business, but in the under-฿1,500 bracket it's the kind of room people come back to.
Modern Resort opened in 2019 as a single-storey, 16-room property laid out in rows around a central courtyard, with mature trees breaking up the line. The detail guests like most is that you park directly outside your own room — you pull the car up, take a few steps, and you're at the bed, with no lobby to cross and no lift to wait for. For people road-tripping through the provinces or travelling with family, that's more convenient than it sounds, and it's something the older hotels in central Phichit can't really offer.
Rooms come in two straightforward types — a Standard Twin (two single beds) and a Standard Queen. They're done in white and light wood with white tile floors and a large sliding glass door opening onto the garden or courtyard. Each room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a kettle — enough for a comfortable night. Cartoon prints on the wall and towels folded into swans give the rooms a brighter feel than the price suggests, and they're the small touches guests tend to photograph in their reviews.
One returning guest sums it up: "Very quiet, you park right at the door, the room is clean, the bed is comfortable, and the staff are lovely — I stay here every time I'm in Phichit."
On breakfast, it's worth being honest: this is a small buffet, not a long spread like a big-city hotel. You get pork-and-mushroom congee, toast with jam, tea and coffee, and chilled juice laid out on a table trimmed with artificial grass. Several guests describe it as simple but tasty and just enough before a morning on the road. Some rates include breakfast and some charge for it separately — check at the time of booking so there are no surprises.
The location sits on Khlong Khachen Road a little outside central Phichit. Wat Mun Lek is roughly 1 km away, a few minutes by car or on foot, and Khlong Khachen Temple and the provincial sports stadium are both within 1–2 km. Phichit train station is about 6 km out, an 8–10 minute drive, which is handy if you're arriving by rail on the northern line. The neighbourhood is quiet and there's almost no noise at night — which is exactly why people report sleeping well here.
The Trip.com score is 8.5/10 from 10 reviews — still a small property without a huge review count, but cleanliness (8.7) and location (8.6) score well. The honest negatives guests raise are fairly small bathrooms, beds that some find on the firm side, and the limited room count meaning it fills up fast on holidays. Worth knowing before you arrive so expectations are set correctly — this is a clean, simple place to sleep, not a full resort with lots of facilities.
On price, Standard rooms start around ฿1,050/night, which is very reasonable for a clean newer room you can park outside. Rates climb a little over long weekends or when there's an event in the province, and rooms sell out quickly given there are only 16. There's a ฿500 deposit at check-in (refunded within 14 days) and an extra-bed charge of about ฿400 per child — standard for a provincial resort, but good to budget for.
The bottom line: Modern Resort Phichit works best for drivers passing through Phichit, anyone here on business, or families who want a clean, quiet room on a modest budget. The real draw is cleanliness, quiet and the park-at-your-door layout — not the amenities. If you need a pool or an on-site restaurant, this isn't it. But if you just want a comfortable night's sleep before moving on, finding something better in Phichit at this price is genuinely hard.
