Phitsanulok
Phitsanulok is situated in the north of the central plain on Menam Nan, one of the main tributaries of Menam Chao Phraya, and is surrounded by rice fields.
After fire destroyed most of the old town of Phitsanulok a new business and trading town was developed, where little trace can now be found of the former importance of the neighboring town of Sukhothai. From the bridge across the Nan and the alleys leading alongside it a good impression can be gained of the lively atmosphere prevalent around the houses built on stilts and on the river.
