Members in P-lock are pretty thin on the ground. In fact not many in the whole of the "central" region. I'm about 1.5 hrs south of P-lock but sorry can't help you on the where to go stuff

Go to Lady Jane's Bar on Friday night, usually a decent representation of some of local farangs show up there to have a drink. Don't be shy, introduce yourself. Some teachers there, but also some other people with other jobs or retired. Mostly Brits, but a few Dutch and Americans. I will be there in October, staying through November. There might be some other hangouts as well, but I am not up to date with all of them.

Most everybody shows up around 8:00 to 8:30 -- it's not a late night party. Lady Jane's has decent food but they don't tend to serve on Friday.

Lady Jane's is down the one-way street from the Pailyn Hotel about 200-300 yards/meters on the right hand side. There is a parking lot in front of it but it is usually full as there is an illegale gambling hall close by. If you are driving, you can usually find parking either in the lot or on the street.

As for nightlife, what do you mean?? -- no real bar scene like BKK/Phuket/Pattaya. There are Thai bars that have good music (Thai Rock n roll, etc) and food. Some of the folks at Lady Jane's can probably suggest real party places, but remember, Phitsanulok is mostly Thai and does not have farang type night spots. There is a good tech, (music, lots of drinking, Thai girls and guys in their 20's/30's at Topland hotel), and a few other clubs.

I am supposed to be in P'lok on Sunday night for work of all things. I will make a post if the plan comes to fruition.

my buddy who lives in p,lok is somewhat agrieved at being stopped and breathalysed at the wheel of his car and has had to cut back on his boozing . he says theres a fine for any trace of booze on the breath, anyone else had this problem? he complains the BIBs have all roads covered later on.
