Hotels in Central Thailand, Thailand

Central Thailand, home to bustling Bangkok and the ancient capital Ayutthaya, has a tropical climate with three seasons: hot (March-June), rainy (July-October), and cool (November-February). The cool season is ideal for exploring Ayutthaya's 14th-century temple ruins and cruising Bangkok's Chao Phraya River in a long-tail boat, while the rainy season offers cheaper hotel rates and fewer crowds at iconic floating markets like Damnoen Saduak. During the hot season, you can escape the heat by visiting air-conditioned shopping malls or taking a dip in a rooftop pool.
