Phitsanulok

The city extends along the banks of the Nan River, featuring a combination of modern buildings and traditional temples across its 18 square kilometers.

Established in the 13th century as Song Khwae, Phitsanulok served as a royal capital during the Sukhothai Kingdom period in 1378.

The Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat temple contains the Phra Buddha Chinnarat, a Buddha statue that represents the finest craftsmanship of Thai religious art.

The central location of Phitsanulok makes it an efficient transportation hub for accessing historical sites in Sukhothai, Si Satchanalai, and Kamphaeng Phet.

The Sergeant Major Thawee Folk Museum displays an extensive collection of traditional tools, textiles, and photographs that document local life through generations.
