Central Thailand has the capital city of Bangkok. It is the travel hub for many countries in South-East Asia. Bangkok if filled with numbers of skyscrapers scattered around the vast expanse of the area with the mighty Chao Phraya river flowing across the heart of the city. The beauty of the city lies within the crazy mix of chaos and elegance it has. Its frenetic markets, crazy traffic, magnificent golden temples, posh hotels and restaurants, budget dorms and cheap eateries, and also alleys of sex-shows – you will get everything in Bangkok.
To the south and south-west of Bangkok, you should explore the neighboring provinces. For example, you can visit the replica of most of the famous places of Thailand in Samut Prakan and few of the oldest temples at Samut Sakhon. Also, the railway market and the most authentic floating market at Samut Songkhram and the most popular floating market at Ratchaburi are worth visiting.
Further south, you can visit the giant caves and the old royal palace complexes at Phetchaburi. Also, enjoy the city beaches and the cave at Sam Roi Yot National Park at Prachuap Khiri Khan.
To the west of Bangkok, you cannot afford to miss visiting Kanchanaburi province. It has its main town located at the confluence of two rivers. It is popular for its most palpable war-time memory sites, the beautiful multicascade waterfalls at Erawan National Park, and caves at Sai Yok National Park. The shrine towns in the provinces of Suphanburi and Nakhon Pathom are also worth visiting.
To the north of Bangkok, you must visit the ruins of temples. They form the UNESCO world heritage site of Ayutthaya Historical Park at Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. The sunflower farms at Saraburi and Lopburi are worth visiting during the winters.
Khao Yai National Park is Thailand’s oldest and most visited reserve that makes Nakhon Nayok popular. But it is also spread over Saraburi, Nakhon Ratchasima (north-eastern region), and Prachinburi (eastern region). There are also other small provinces like Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Ang Thong, Chainat, and Singburi. They are rich in paddy fields and beautiful Buddhist temples.
