Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat
Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat (Thai: วัดพระศรีรัตนมหาธาตุ; "Temple of the Great Jewelled Reliquary"). Locacls call it Wat Yai (Thai: วัดใหญ่; "Big Temple") .
The temple was built in 1357 and is famous for holding one of Thailand’s most copied Buddha images, Phra Phuttha Chinnarat (Thai: พระพุทธชินราช; "King of Victory"), second in importance only to the Emerald Buddha in BKK’s Grand Palace. It was cast in the late Sukhothai style, however the head of this Buddha is a little bit wider than standard Sukhothai and therefore the statue makes a very solid impression.
Picture: By me, 2018
The temple is host to a large fair every January. There is also a small market on the ground, where people offer souvenirs and local food. Connected to the temple ground of Wat Yai is the Nang Phaya Temple.

Phitsanulok
Phitsanulok (พิษณุโลก) (”Vishnu's heaven'') is a historic city in Lower Northern Thailand.
Phitsanulok is a regional commercial and transportation hub.
In Turfworld it’s a natural transport way if you come from south or central Thailand and on the road to the zone Sukhothai. It’s from Phitsanulok you take the bus to Sukhothai
History
The city dates back to the 10th century when the Khmer ruled this region. Formerly, the city was named Song Khwae, meaning two rivers, as it was located between the Nan and Khwae Noi River. The original location of Song Khwae city is at Wat Chulamani. Around the year 1357, king of Sukhothai, Phra Maha Thammaracha Lithai, decided to move the town to its present location. Since then, Phitsanulok served as a strategic border town ruled by members of the royal family.
During the Ayutthaya Period, the town played a larger role as a buffer town between Ayutthaya, the capital city, and the northern kingdom. Following an administrative reform by King Borommatrailokkanat, it had served as the capital city for 25 years.
After that, the town was downgraded to a strategic border town. It has played a major role in blocking the invasion of Burmese troops. King Naresuan the Great, who ruled the town in a capacity as Crown Prince, mobilized troops from Phitsanulok to fight against the Burmese who then ruled over the Siamese Kingdom, and reclaimed independence in 1584.
Phitsanulok became a strategic town in coping Burmese invasion again in 1775 in the Thon Buri period. During a tough battle, the Burmese army’s commander requested an appearance of a Thai commander, Chaophraya Chakri, and predicted that he would become a king. Chaophraya Chakri was later crowned the first monarch of the Rattanakosin period, King Rama I the Great of the Royal House of Chakri.
