Phitsanulok Thailand




Phitsanulok

Phitsanulok Province, Phitsanulok was the birthplace of one of the greatest heroes in Thai history - King Naresuan. As a young prince he was taken away by the Burmese, after they had defeated Ayutthaya, to guarantee the good behavior of his father, King Thammarat. On his return to Ayutthaya, aged 16, he was given the principality to govern by his father. He developed his military and political expertise, which helped him immensely when he took to the throne of Ayutthaya in 1590.

During the reign of King Boromtrailokant of Ayutthaya (1448-1488), Phitsanulok became the capital of Siam for a short period of 25 years. Up until the Burmese ransacked Ayutthaya in 1767 it basically functioned as the kingdom's second city.

The modern city doesn't really have anything to offer the traveller compared to the great cities of nearby Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai. However, it does have a good selection of western style hotels and can be a good resting point for those travelling to the north.
