Mueang Phitsanulok

Mueang Phitsanulok is the central administrative district of Phitsanulok province. It combines city areas with rural zones along two major rivers, creating a mixed landscape where daily activities range from commerce in town to farming in surrounding areas.

This district held status as a major city during the Ayutthaya kingdom until its fall in 1767. Subsequent administrative reforms reshaped how the district was governed and organized.

The district contains 83 Buddhist temples, 11 Christian churches, and a mosque, reflecting the religious diversity of its 281,929 residents.

This district has an airport, railway station, and bus terminals serving travelers and connecting to other regions. Getting around is straightforward due to these multiple transportation links available throughout the area.

Within its 20 subdistricts, farmers cultivate rice, cassava, maize, and sugar cane, contributing to the agricultural production of northern Thailand.
