Things to Do in Central Thailand in 2026

This cave was discovered about 200 years ago and was named Phraya Nakhon Cave, the name of the discoverer. It cost me much sweating and tired muscles but it was worth the climb.

Wat Lokayasutharam located in the Ayutthaya Complex. It is the largest reclining Buddha in Thailand.

It's a floating hotel! A lovely place to relax, if a little damp. Beautiful to recline in your hammock and watch the stars (no electricity here).

One of sixteen gates into the complex of Wat Pho guarded by Chinese giants. Wat Pho is known for the enormous 45 meter long, reclining Budda and is also known as the center of Thai massage.
The Grand Palace and the Chao Praya river are close by as other must-see sites.
