Where to Stay in Uttaradit — Choose by Your Trip
A complete zone-by-zone guide to staying in Laplae–Uttaradit · Rooms from ฿450
Where should you stay in Uttaradit? It depends on what you're here for — making merit at Wat Phra Thaen Sila At, exploring Laplae, eating Lin Laplae durian in season, or visiting Sirikit Dam. This guide helps you match your stay to your trip, with a recommended budget option at Hua Dum Resort in the heart of Laplae.
How Many Zones Are There, and Which One to Pick?
Uttaradit's sights are spread across several districts, so accommodation falls roughly into three zones. The first is Laplae district, a small valley near Wat Phra Thaen Sila At, the Laplae city gate, Mae Phun waterfall and the durian orchards — ideal for merit-makers, nature lovers and anyone here for the fruit season. Hua Dum Resort is in this zone, in the heart of Chai Chumphon subdistrict.
The second zone is Uttaradit city, the hub for government, shops, food and the northern railway station — handy for those here on business, official errands, or arriving by train without a car. The third is the area near Sirikit Dam, in Tha Pla district, with reservoir-and-mountain views for nature lovers, though it's a fair way from the city and best for those mainly heading to the dam.
The advantage of staying in the Laplae zone is that it's 'right in the middle' — only about 3 kilometres from Wat Phra Thaen Sila At, around 12 kilometres (~15 minutes) from Uttaradit city and the train station, and within about an hour's drive of Sirikit Dam. So you can use it as a base for the whole province. Hua Dum Resort fits this zone with clean air-conditioned rooms at ฿450–600, with breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking included in the rate.

What Are You Here For? Pick Your Type of Stay
Here to make merit at Wat Phra Thaen Sila At → stay in the Laplae zone near the temple
If your main goal is to pay respects at Wat Phra Thaen Sila At, the royal landmark temple, staying in Laplae near the temple means no early wake-up and long drive. Hua Dum Resort is only about 3 km from the temple. See options and a detailed merit-making trip in our guide to staying near Wat Phra Thaen Sila At.
On a budget but want a clean, good-value room → budget stays from ฿450
If you want a clean, safe, air-conditioned room at an easy price, Hua Dum Resort starts at just ฿450 per night (twin ฿600), breakfast included. See how to pick the best-value budget stay in our guide to affordable Laplae–Uttaradit accommodation.
Here for Lin Laplae durian (May–Jul) → stay near the orchards/Hua Dong market
During Lin Laplae durian and fruit season, roughly May to July, stay in Laplae near the orchards and Hua Dong fruit market for the freshest fruit at the best prices. Read the timing and where to taste and buy in our Laplae durian season guide.
No car, arriving by train → stay near the city/train station
If you're arriving on the northern train or here for business in town, choose a stay with good links to Uttaradit city and the train station. See options and onward transport in our guide to staying in Uttaradit near the city and train station.
Heading to Sirikit Dam / a nature trip → stay in Tha Pla, or use Laplae as a base
If Sirikit Dam is your main focus, staying on the Tha Pla side is closer, but if you want to see several spots in one trip, staying in Laplae and driving about an hour to the dam works well. Read more in our Sirikit Dam guide.
Several days, one base for the whole province → stay central in Laplae
For a trip of 2 days 1 night or more, a single central base saves travel time. Hua Dum Resort in the heart of Laplae is close to the temples, the city and the sights — an ideal base for the whole province in one trip.
