Situated in the center of the country, the central region is geographically Thailand’s heartland and is where Bangkok, Thailand's capital city, is located. Covering the area around the Chao Phraya River, the Central region is fertile with farming areas, wide-ranging landscape of paddy fields, orchards and plantations, making it the rice bowl of the country. On top of the beautiful landscape and natural resources, the Central is also full of historical and cultural fascination, such as ancient temples and the unique way of life by the river. On the west of the Central region is the border to Myanmar, with forested mountains and waterfall as the scenery, where as the East Coast of Thailand is connected to the border of Cambodia. The 400-kilometer coastline of the upper Gulf of Thailand presents some of the finest beaches and loveliest islands in Asia. People who seek a quiet holiday would find the beaches and islands on the east coast a perfect holiday destination.
The Climate
The Central Plains and East Coast of Thailand experience constant humidity all year long with significantly cooler climate in the northern part of the region enjoys the tropical climate that comes in three diverse seasons – hot from February to May, rainy from June to October, and relatively cool from November to January. The best period to visit is around November to March, when it is not too hot and is not a rainy season that will spoil the activities at the beach on the East coast.
