Read this first: Uttaradit sees essentially no foreign visitors, so community-contributed price data for it is close to non-existent. Rather than publish false-precision figures, the tables below give indicative ranges typical of an inexpensive upper-northern agricultural province, clearly labelled as guide estimates. Confirm current asking prices — especially rent — directly for the specific town and property you choose.
Food & dining (indicative)
| Item | Indicative price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Meal, inexpensive local restaurant / market stall | ฿40–65 | Rural provincial pricing with no visitor premium |
| Meal for two, mid-range restaurant | ฿350–650 | Town-centre restaurants sit at the top of this range |
| Cappuccino / café coffee | ฿45–70 | A modest café scene exists in the town and around the Rajabhat university |
| Local durian & langsat in season | Varies widely | Laplae's Longlaplae and Linlaplae durians command a premium even locally; langsat is cheap in September |
Housing & utilities (indicative)
Housing barely moves across Uttaradit — the province has no verified condominium market and no agency-led rental sector, so the real variable is whether you want a room or apartment (the town or Sila At) or a house (everywhere). See the rental market guide for lease terms.
| Item | Indicative range | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Room or small apartment, Uttaradit town or Sila At | ฿3,000–8,000/mo | Owner-run blocks near the hospital and Rajabhat university; shophouse rooms in the centre |
| Townhouse or 1–2 bed unit, town centre | ฿5,000–10,000/mo | The most serviced part of the province, so the top of the formal market |
| 2–3 bed detached house, Laplae / Tron / Phichai / uplands | ฿2,500–9,000/mo | Let directly by local owners; garden and parking usually included, rarely advertised online |
| Basic utilities (electricity, water, common areas) | ฿1,000–2,500/mo | Electricity dominates; higher with heavy air-con use in the hot season |
Transport, connectivity & everyday (indicative)
| Item | Indicative price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol (1 litre) | ฿35–45 | A motorbike or car is a fixed line in almost every Uttaradit budget |
| Mobile plan (calls + data) | ฿300–500/mo | AIS, TrueMove H and dtac all cover the province; upland coverage is thinner |
| Home broadband (fibre, unlimited) | ฿450–800/mo | AIS Fibre, True and 3BB serve the town; check coverage before signing a district lease |
| Songthaew / short local trip | ฿10–40 | No BTS, MRT or city bus — songthaews and motorbike taxis fill in |
Uttaradit has no BTS, MRT or city bus network — a motorbike or car is the practical default almost everywhere, consistent with the getting-around guide. The train, however, is genuinely cheap and useful: the province sits on the Northern Line with two stations in the provincial town.
Why we present ranges, not single figures
Uttaradit attracts essentially no tourists or digital nomads, and those are the populations that fund granular cost-of-living coverage elsewhere in Thailand. What public data exists is official statistics — provincial output, workforce, forest area, agriculture — rather than shopping-basket prices. Rather than invent a precise number to complete the picture, this guide uses honest indicative ranges and flags them clearly. As verified, Uttaradit-specific data becomes available, these tables will be updated to cite it directly.
