Hotels in Central Thailand, Thailand

Central Thailand, anchored by Bangkok and the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya, is famous for its glittering temples and floating markets. The climate is hot year-round (80-95°F / 27-35°C), with a cool, dry winter from November to February that's perfect for exploring Ayutthaya Historical Park's 14th-century temples by bike or taking a long-tail boat through Damnoen Saduak's canal market. During the rainy summer (June to October), you'll find cheaper hotels and fewer crowds-great for dodging into Bangkok's air-conditioned Chatuchak Weekend Market or catching a budget-friendly Thai boxing match at Rajadamnern Stadium.
