Travel Destinations - Phitsanulok Province
A major tourist destination in
the Lower North, Phitsanulok is situated on the banks of the
Nan River some 377 kilometres from Bangkok. Most of the terrains
are flatland, with mountain ranges running on the east where
waterfalls and national parks offer opportunities for nature
treks.
Historically, Phitsanulok has been a major community since
the time of the Khmers and enjoyed great prosperity during
the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya periods. During 1463-1487 it was
practically another royal capital as King Borom Trailokanat
of Ayutthaya resided permanently in the province.
Phitsanulok is administratively divided into the following
districts: Muang, Wang Thong, Phrom Phiram, Bang Krathum,
Bang Rakam, Wat Bot, Nakhon Thai, Chat Trakan and Noen Maprang.
