PhitsanuloakProvince

Phitsanuloak province was established in Khmer era during B.S. 1500s. Former name was "Muang Song-Kwai" or "Song-Kwai" city because its location is on area between Nan river and Kwai river. In year 1357 in Sukhothai era, King Somdej Phra Mahathammaracha Lithai ordered to relocate Song-Kwai city to the present location. In Krungsri-Ayutthaya, King Somdej Phraborom Trilokranat renamed "Song-Kwai" to "Phitsanuloak" city.
