Central Thailand From Wikipedia |
| Central Thailand (Central Plain) is a region of Thailand, covering the broad alluvial plain of the Chao Phraya River. It is separated from North-East Thailand (Isan) by the Phetchabun mountain range, and another mountain range separates it from Myanmar to the west. In the north it gently changes into the more hilly Northern Thailand. The area was the heartland of the Ayutthaya kingdom, and is still the dominant area of Thailand. Central Thailand contains the Thai capital of Bangkok. Central Thailand is the most populated region in the country. |
Central Thailand including the eastern provinces is divided into 26 provinces. Especially for statistical purposes these are divided into 4 groups: |
|
Bangkok and vicinity : 1. Bangkok 2. Nakhon Pathom 3. Nonthaburi 4. Pathum Thani 5. Samut Prakan 6. Samut Sakhon Sub-central region : 7. Ang Thong 8. Ayutthaya 9. Chainat 10. Lopburi 11. Nakhon Nayok 12. Saraburi 13. Singburi Western region : 14. Kanchanaburi 15. Phetchaburi 16. Prachuap Khiri Khan 17. Ratchaburi 18. Samut Songkhram 19. Suphanburi Eastern region : 20. Chachoengsao 21. Chanthaburi 22. Chonburi 23. Rayong 24. Prachinburi 25. Sa Kaeo 26. Trat |

The eastern region is sometimes listed as a separate region destinct from central Thailand - sometimes only the four coastal provinces, sometimes the above list excluding Nakhon Nayok. None of these regions are actually administrative subdivision, they are only geographical or statistical groupings. |
