Hotels in Eastern Thailand, Thailand

Eastern Thailand hugs the Gulf of Thailand coast, with a warm tropical climate-dry winters around 80°F (27°C) are perfect for island hopping to Koh Chang or snorkeling at its coral reefs, while rainy summers from May to October cool things down to 86°F (30°C) and make fruit farms in Chanthaburi lush for durian tasting. You can explore Pattaya's walking street and water parks during the dry season, then hit the quieter beaches of Rayong when the rains come, saving cash on off-peak accommodation. For budget-friendly diving, head to Koh Tao in winter when visibility peaks, or visit waterfalls in Khao Yai National Park in summer when they run strongest.
