Searching for that ideal honeymoon destination? How about a trip to Bangkok to surrender to the flames of romance in a city filled with excitement, shopping and history? The capital of Thailand is famed for its nightlife, enormous shrines and bustling city that has been attracting tourists from all over the world. However, the city is not only a hub for shoppers or adventurers, but it also sets the perfect ambience for a newly wedded couple seeking refuge in a foreign land to enjoy some quality time together. Here are the top five things that we believe would add a hint of thrill and excitement to your first romantic getaway as mister and missus.
Float in the rhythm of love! Cruise down the Chao Phraya River with the love of your life on waters as untamed as your love for each other. Romantic river cruises are rather a common affair in Bangkok and travellers will be able to choose one that fits their requirements, and most importantly their wallet. While on the cruise, couples can admire and appreciate the sites on the riverbanks, while dining in the candlelight as you pass the many temples and palaces of Thailand would shower the night in romance.
Honeymooners can add a stop to visit Ayutthaya even from their apartments in Chonburi, as it is approximately two hours apart. Ayutthaya is an ancient capital city in Thailand and holds great significance to the country and for historical enthusiasts who appreciate a peek into the country's past. Travellers can choose between 24-48 hours trips that take them upstream on a traditional teak barge to the city; a way to bond overnight with your partner.
Take a two-hour ride from your accommodation at Somerset Harbourview Sri Racha and reach Jim Thompson's House, a popular tourist site in Bangkok. Jim Thompson is the founder of the Thai Silk Company. Therefore, a visit to his home is a ticket to your very own road trip, where tour packages will include pick up from the hotel, which then takes you on a scenic route to the house. This silk merchant's house is known to be brimming with cultural artefacts and Thai artworks.
Float away in romance as you become familiar with Thailand's Floating Market. This unique experience is certain to add a flavour of adventure to your honeymoon, as you hop on a self-paddled boat to explore the vibrant Damneon Saduak Floating Market. The market is where Thai culture will be in full swing with tropical fruits, sticky rice, prawns and coconut sugar candy available for purchase.
A Grand Palace Tour is a mandatory checklist item for any honeymooner in Bangkok or any tourist who pays a visit to the vicinity. Famed as one of Thailand's major tourist attractions, The Grand Palace is undoubtedly a highlight of any Thai tour. Discover a carved emerald Buddha statue at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and continue your journey until you make a stop at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, where the largest collection of Buddha images in all of Thailand is available.
