彭世洛 (พิษณุโลก) 是位于 泰国下北部 的一座历史名城，距离曼谷和清迈大约各半程。人口约8万。

了解

彭世洛省位于泰国北部下部，拥有丰富的历史、文化和自然景点，距离曼谷约377公里。周边省份覆盖10,815平方公里，东部有山脉、平原和森林，南部有河流流域。作为该省生命线的南河贯穿城市中心。

它也是一个地区商业和交通枢纽。许多旅客在前往北部或从北部返回时都会经过彭世洛。这座城市本身并非世界上最令人兴奋或最美丽的地方，但对于补充物资很有用，而且彭世洛是探索泰国古都 素可泰 的绝佳起点。

泰国旅游局 (TAT) 办公室位于 Borom Trailokanat 路 209/7-8 号，距离火车站以南几个街区（步行 5-7 分钟）（每日 08:30-16:30）。

历史

这座城市可以追溯到10世纪，当时高棉人统治该地区。以前，这座城市名为宋奎（Song Khwae），意为“两条河”，因为它位于南河和奎诺伊河之间。宋奎城的最初位置在屈占拉玛尼寺（Wat Chulamani）。大约在1357年，素可泰国王 Phra Maha Thammaracha Lithai 决定将城镇迁至现址。从那时起，彭世洛就作为由皇室成员统治的战略边境城镇。

在阿瑜陀耶时期，这座城镇作为首都阿瑜陀耶和北部王国之间的缓冲地带发挥了更大的作用。在 Borommatrailokkanat 国王进行行政改革后，它曾作为首都长达25年。之后，该城镇被降级为战略边境城镇。它在阻止缅甸军队入侵方面发挥了重要作用。伟大君主纳瑞宣国王（Naresuan the Great）在担任王储时统治该镇，他从彭世洛调集军队与当时统治暹罗王国的缅甸人作战，并于1584年收复了独立。

在吞武里时期，彭世洛于1775年再次成为应对缅甸入侵的战略要地。在一场激烈的战斗中，缅甸军队指挥官要求泰国指挥官差克里（Chaophraya Chakri）出现，并预言他将成为国王。差克里后来被加冕为拉达那哥欣王朝的第一位君主，即却克里王朝的伟大国王拉玛一世。1894年，彭世洛在拉玛五世国王统治时期被提升为一个名为彭世洛省（Monthon Phitsanulok）的区域。如今，彭世洛是一个省。

下一站

Phitsanulok is a convenient transportation hub and good stop-over from Bangkok to Chiang Mai (or vice versa), or on the way between Northern and Northeastern Thailand (Isan).

Wat Prathat Phasornkaew

There's a really nice daytrip to two temples in Khao Kho district possible (105 km east of Phitsanulok).1 Wat Prathat Phasornkaew and the Sitting Buddha Statue are around 2 1/2 hours by bus from Phitsanulok. Busses depart from the normal bus station and cost 80 Baht one way. From where the bus stops you have to walk for 25 mins up a hill (or hitch a ride on the back of a pick up truck). Both temples are quite new. The Sitting Buddha Statue temple is actually multiple Buddhas sitting in front of each other and getting smaller. The other temple (Wat Prathat Phasornkaew), which is just on the other side of the road, is completely covered in beautiful mosaic art, walls, floors and stairs are designed in a smooth, fluid way which reminded me of Antoni Gaudí. You can climb this temple quite a bit and have an amazing view on the surrounding hills. This is really Off The Beaten Path. When going back it's possible to hitch hike or take a bus. For more information you can ask the owner of the Karma Home Hostel.
