Cheap Hotels in Phitsanulok

Often overlooked by travelers heading straight to Chiang Mai, this historic city in central Thailand is a genuine cultural crossroads. The main reason to visit is Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat, commonly called Wat Yai, which houses the revered Phra Buddha Chinnarat, one of the country's most beautiful and copied Buddha images. Beyond the temple, the city serves as a practical gateway to the ancient ruins of Sukhothai and offers a slower pace of life along the Nan River, where you can find excellent local food at the night bazaar.

Phitsanulok works well as a one or two-night stop for culture-focused travelers and history enthusiasts, or for those breaking up a long journey north. The most convenient areas to stay are around the central train station or near the Naresuan University campus, which offer good access to local songthaews and tuk-tuks. The city has its own airport with connections to Bangkok, and the train station is a major hub on the northern line.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find 43 different accommodation options here. The selection is dominated by practical, good-value business hotels and a range of comfortable budget guesthouses, reflecting the city’s role as a regional transport and education center. You can also find a few modern riverside hotels that make for a pleasant stay.
