This is a Map of Central Thailand

Below is a rough map of central Thailand region, and we thought we’d take this chance to tell you about a little bit of information on our website and also the 6 key regions in the area.

• GREEN – Bangkok
• A – Ayutthaya and the surrounding attractions
  around 100km north of Bangkok
• D – Inner West including the Floating Market and the surrounding attractions
  around 100km west of Bangkok
• E – Eastern Beach including Pattaya, Chonburi, Rayond and the Laem Chabang cruise-liner pier
  around 150km south east of Bangkok
• K – Kanchanaburi and the surrounding attractions
  around 150km north west of Bangkok
• W – Western Beach including Cha-am, Hua Hin and the surrounding attractions
  around 200kms south west of Bangkok

Travel Time and the Roads in Thailand

When we do our calculations for travel time on trip outside of Bangkok, we add 10% to the total from the Google Maps route calculator and then divide the by 75 km/h. We have found from experience that this gives us a very good estimation for travel time, because the central Thailand traffic is bad.

So an example would be: Bangkok -> Damnoen Saduak Floating Market -> Kanchanaburi Tiger Temple -> Bangkok

When you put this into Google Maps (like we have here) it gives a total distance of 400kms, we then add 10% for the local trips and stops, giving us 440kms for the day. Divide this number by 75 km/h and you end up with 5 hours and 50 minutes of travel time for the day.

If anyone else tell you that you’re going to be in the car for less than this, they’re telling you a tall tail to get you to book, either they are trying to make it sound more attractive, which is a common problem here in Thailand, or WORSE they plan to stick you in a van that moving 150km/hour, which we do not recommend.

Anyway, thanks for listening.
