What our travelers think about their stay
You wouldn't necessarily describe it as such, but Phitsanulok is one of Thailand's largest cities, serving as point of transit between Bangkok and Northern Thailand.
My suggestion
Spend some time in the region rather than the city itself, which is a little lacking in interest.
Not far from Sukhothai, Phitsanulok is a provincial town which can serve as a stopping off point in the region. Its temples and town center are a nice destination.
My suggestion
As it's not very busy the town is ideal for those who don't like going to places that are too touristy.
