Introduction to Phitsanulok
For many foreign travellers, Phitsanulok is a city they only see through the window of a bus as they travel to Chiang Mai or BKK. This is a shame, as there are a number of attractions that make this town worth a visit of two to three days.
From a deeply respected Buddha image to the former stronghold of the Communist Party of Thailand, there are many reasons for cultural travellers to make a stop in Phitsanulok.
