Club career

He previously spent his youth career with Suphanburi Sports College between 1997 and 1999 before moving to Krung Thai Bank F.C. in 1999. The midfielder was promoted to the first team in 2002, and the club won two consecutive titles, in 2002–2003 and 2003–2004. Krung Thai Bank also took part in the AFC Champions League three times between 2003 and 2008 but never progressed further than the group stage.

He made 116 appearances and scored 39 goals for the club.

In 2008, Phichitphong moved to former division 1 champions Muangthong United. He won the Thai Premier League title twice with the Twin Qilins, in 2009 and 2010, and also won more silverware.
