Phitsanulok (do not pronounce the t if you want to say like the locals) is the nearest town of Sukhothai reachable by train. That makes it a qite mandatory way to the ancient main city of Siam kingdom. Tourists generally stay only for the night before taking the bus.
It is a big city with no taxi but with slamlaws, schools, temples and a very few cyber cafe or Internet shops, at least in the area I stayed. Because of its size and appearance, the agglomeration does not have the endearing charm of Lopburi and offers a limited number of attractions to tourists. The most famous is the Wat Phra Si Ratana Mahathat Buddha Chinnarat whose statue is the most revered and copied over the country.

That said if you have a car or a another vehicule, it is interesting to go outside the city to see the mountains and the numerosu waterfalls. In Phitsanulok, I did not get to do a lot of interesting pictures apart those of this military ceremony.
