The Centre: Heart of the Kingdom

Dominated by the Chao Phraya plain, this region is the center of much of Thailand's history and political power. Several former capitals, such as Ayutthaya, gravitate around Bangkok, along with cities and provinces steeped in the kingdom's history. Between its sprawling metropolis, canals, temples, and historic towns, the heart of the country remains a natural gateway to discovering Thailand.
