In the process of picking the perfect destination for your honeymoon – after all, you want to make sure your first getaway as Mr & Mrs is nothing short of romantic and spectacular. Thailand could very well be your best bet, so read on to discover five key reasons why you need to book those air tickets to this top-rated honeymoon destination today!
Despite Thailand being one of the top travel destinations in the world, it has unwittingly managed to preserve its rich cultural integrity – which is evident throughout the country. From magnificent temples to historical monuments of great importance, and grand royal places to quaint fishing villages of humble origins, Thailand has a lot to offer. For couples who share a mutual interest in history, tradition, and architecture, Thailand will prove to be an excellent honeymoon pick.
Does you and your significant other consider yourselves to be ardent beachgoers in search of soft sandy shores, aquamarine waters, and endless sunshine to boot? Thailand will not disappoint. Thanks to the nation being an archipelago, one will have countless islands of various shapes and sizes to choose from. Some top seaside destinations to possibly consider include Koh Lanta, Krabi, Koh Samui, Phuket, and Koh Yao Noi. From hiking, catching dramatic sunsets, and sunbathing to your heart's content with a snazzy cocktail in hand, things to do in Thailand's top seaside locations are truly endless!
Apart from its picture-perfect beaches, and ancient temples, one will find that there is far more to Thailand than one thought. This beautiful coastal nation also happens to be home to a truly diverse range of ecosystems and by extension rich wildlife - which is best encountered through responsible and sustainable initiatives that work towards protecting populations of native creatures big and small. Many hotels in Chiang Rai including the likes of Anantara Golden Triangle will be happy to arrange visits to ethical wildlife sanctuaries and national parks upon the request of their guests.
No destination is fully explored without examining its culinary offerings. Thailand and its vibrant culinary scenes will promise to satisfy the palettes of even the most discerning of foodies. From exploring its street food offerings to dining in some of the most elegant fine dining restaurants, Thailand's cuisine guarantees to tease one's taste buds, with its exotic flavour, fresh ingredients, and creativity when it comes to gastronomic fare. For a fun bonding experience, why not consider signing up for a couple's cooking class to learn how to whip up your favourite Thai curries and desserts?
Nothing in life is as indulgent as treating oneself to a relaxing massage to unwind and relax, especially with all the stress of planning and executing the perfect wedding. Whether it's a much-needed foot massage in between exploring Thailand's bustling streets to booking a full-blown out couple's massage, one will find plenty of world-class spas to choose from for a truly indulgent honeymoon getaway.
