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.
