	&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Phitsanulok Mayor Boonsong Thaenthanee said that traffic is being seen at the pawn shops, as the locals prepare cash for their children&#39;s schooling expense. Over 80 per cent of the pawned items is gold, while the rest include electrical appliances and agricultural tools.
