Self-catering holiday homes: Thailand Central Region special offers

Make holiday rental accommodation or a villa in Central Thailand your home away from home

The Central Plain of Thailand, or just Central Thailand as it is usually referred to, is the broad alluvial plain of the Chao Phraya River in the shadow of the beautiful Phetchabun Mountains. It is the most populated and important region of Thailand, and is home to the country’s capital, Bangkok. It is a region of rich culture, fine leisure options and great food, and there will always be a humblingly warm reception when you arrive at any holiday accommodation in Thailand. It is a diverse region of stunning scenery, from dark forests to sandy beaches, and huge waterfalls to deep caves, and there is such a magnificently rich culture and wealth of entertainment that it would be impossible to cover it all in such a rough guide, or indeed sample it all from rental accommodation or a holiday villa in Thailand.
