Phitsanulok
City
spans the banks of Maenam Nan and has Maenam Kwae Noi running through
it. Therefore, it is locally known and historically referred to as
Song
Kwae
City
(song means two and kwae means a river). Most of Phitsanulok's terrain
is flatlands, with one third of the area being mountain ranges on the
north and the east. Its unique natural endowments including natural
parks and waterfalls make a trip to Phitsanulok worthwhile.
