Bangkok the effervescent holiday destination can be quite the romantic location, for couples interested in more than shopping and nightlife. Listed are some dreamy escapes to try out.
'Bangkok Tree House' stands out amongst all other mundane tree-houses in Bangkok. Don't forget the cameras though, for the place offers the ultimate background for romantic shots, close to the sky. Plan to spend a night and you will be given a comfy king size bed, set high on the treetops under a canopy of twinkling stars. The best part is the feeling of being isolated from the rest of the world and enjoying your little nook, with the one you love. Don't worry about the rain or insects; the place is well planned out, with backups for any emergency. Guests at Maitria Hotel Sukhumvit 18 will find Bangkok Tree House just 45 minutes away and is ideal for an overnight visit and a touch of romance.
If you are staying at a hotel in Sukhumvit, do head over to Vertigo TOO, Erawan Tea Room for an afternoon of cuddles and of course – tea. Choose from amongst two options; there is the Vertigo TOO High Tea, which is a room located in the clouds. On offer are delicacies such as macaroons, traditional scones, tartlets and chocolate mousse, for a touch of romantic sweet nothings, while poached lobster salad and Tom Yam Dressing are hard to resist. Enjoy the food cuddled up on the plush sofas, placed next to large oval windows which offer a bird's eye view of the surroundings from the 60th floor. If you are an old fashioned romantic, check out the Erawan Tea Room, for old world charms, and delicious tea served in silver pots.
A Disney Sleeping Beauty type castle awaits couples caught up in the magic of old world chivalry and maidens in distress. The castle is an abandoned one, which still exudes loads of charm, and romance. Ideal for some enchanting looking photos, the place is often a venue for various entertainment events such as music fests and food fairs. While a Songkran Festival was once held at the castle, the place has been tipped to have a go-kart track, which just may pull at the heartstrings of your better half. Do check it out.
If you love the idea of exploring an elegant and romantic palace, do give this venue a browse. Ideal for 'couples photos' the palace is home to large elegant rooms, beautiful gazebos, golden summer houses, a shimmering lake to go paddle boating and a manicured garden you won't be able to resist posing in front of. Set up in 1915, the place is often used to host state occasions and is a museum.
The Japanese Onsen Bath is a secret spa experience which promises couples the ultimate experience in relaxing mind body and soul. Private Onsen bath experiences for couples are on offer here, where wooden tubs offer one a chance to soak away all aches and pains. If you have not experienced an Onsen spa, do give it a try, satisfaction is most often - guaranteed.
