Make your honeymoon one to remember. Fly out to Thailand to one of these four places and experience a world of charm and wonder.
Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, makes an ideal getaway for honeymooners who would like to have it all. This city really does never sleep, and offers a level of nightlife that would hard to rival anywhere else in Thailand, and maybe even in the world! From night markets filled with street food and other wares to nightclubs and go-go bars, bustling Bangkok is a night owl's paradise. If the idea of shopping after dark thrills you, try to find a hotel that is in close proximity to a night market and/or offers free shuttle services to it; one such example is Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort which is situated close to the Asiatique Night Market. This riverside Bangkok hotel provides guests with complimentary shuttles to the close by night market. The capital also has many places of religious and cultural importance that you can visit such as the Grand Palace and Wat Pho (temple of the reclining Buddha). Bangkok is also full of world-class spas and restaurants.
When you say honeymoon in Thailand, this is one of the first places that come to mind. The island of Koh Samui is incredibly charming with its sandy beaches, sparkling cobalt blue waters and invigorating sea breeze. Those looking to have an idyllic beachside honeymoon are sure to fall in love with the place almost instantly. From a great seaside setting to friendly service and good food, Koh Samui has got everything you and your partner will need, and then some. It is also home to the famous and infamous Full Moon parties which are a riot of fun and merriment mixed in with a copious amount of alcohol and other guilty pleasures. If you are the type of couple who loves a crowd and needs some excitement after an intimate day out by the shores with just the two of you, Koh Samui is your kind of place.
Situated in northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is not to be missed. This scenic city provides breath-taking views of the mountainous countryside and is filled with lush vegetation; a simply gorgeous place for a honeymoon. There are also places of interest you can visit here such as Wiang Kum Kam, a historic settlement and archaeological site. Nature and wildlife lovers might also like to visit Doi Inthanon National Park. This park, which is sometimes referred to as the 'roof of Thailand', contains part of the Himalayan mountain range, and is home to the country's tallest mountain which stands at over a staggering two and a half thousand feet above sea level.
Blessed with cerulean waters and verdant palms that line the beach like laid-back, inebriated guardians of the shore, always swaying gently to the rhythm of the sea breeze, Phuket is another beach destination that serves as an ideal honeymooning spot. It is also one of the best destinations in the country to go scuba diving in. So if you are an active couple that loves the waters, head to Phuket and spend some time bonding beneath the waves as you bond with the fishes. Privacy is guaranteed! Unless you count the fish as company, that is.
