Phitsanulok Thailand

In addition to its significance in Thai history, Phitsanulok boasts rivers, mountains and forests, making it a perfect destination for those who appreciate natural beauty. Beyond its outstanding natural allure, Phitsanulok provides visitors with the chance to delve into fascinating aspects of Thai history. For instance, Phitsanulok holds evidence of an ancient community dating back 2,000 to 4,000 years, including ancient stone axes. Furthermore, the ancient temple of Wat Chula Mani, situated 5 kilometres south of the city, was constructed even before the kingdom of Sukhothai came to power in the twelfth century. Phitsanulok thrived under the Kingdoms of Sukhothai (1238-1378 AD) and Ayutthaya (1350-1767 AD), playing a strategic role in the Ayutthaya era when it became the royal capital of the kingdom for 25 years, during the reign of King Borom Trailokanat. It was also the birthplace of King Naresuan the Great (R. 1590-1605), the legendary King who declared Ayutthaya's independence from Burma in 1584. King Naresuan is renowned for his victorious and honourable single-handed combat atop an elephant against a Burmese prince. Originally known as Song Khwae, meaning two rivers, as Phitsanulok is nestled between the Nan and Khwae Noi Rivers, it also holds a strategic position between the central plains of Thailand, the northern mountains and the vast plateau of the Northeast. Therefore, Phitsanulok is a natural hub and an ideal spot for travellers wishing to explore the north and west of the Northeast region. However, Phitsanulok is more than just a pit stop for tourists; it's a province brimming with tourism opportunities, where national parks and waterfalls await exploration.
