Phitsanulok
Bus Travel
Buses to Phitsanulok regularly leave Bangkok's Northern Terminal. Fares on a 44-seat air-conditioned bus start at around B260 for the six-hour trip. The terminal also has buses for travel to and from Chiang Mai via Lampang or via Phrae and Phayao, and to Mae Sot via Tak. The terminal is downtown, just 1 km (½ mi) from Wat Phra Si Mahatat (known locally as Wat Yai).
Between Phitsanulok and Sukhothai there are regular buses for pennies, which depart roughly every hour; the trip takes about 1½ hours.
