The lovely Southeast Asian nation is a popular destination among couples around the world, and it is not without reason. If the gorgeous beaches, exciting adventures and vibrant street life don't grant you the romantic getaway of your dreams, what will? Come, explore the charming land, hand in hand.
Nestled in the midst of the wide-open waters of the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui is often considered to be the most romantic destination in all of Thailand — a fact that all lucky souls who've been to the idyllic island would certainly agree. As the Southeast Asian nation's second-largest island, lovebirds vacationing in Koh Samui sure do have a world of joy awaiting them. The adventurous can embark on an exciting trek to explore the island's many breathtaking waterfalls while the slew of incredible attractions is sure to give your fill of sightseeing. The picture-postcard beaches are all about unwinding in tranquillity and taking in the soul-relaxing scene.
Away from Thailand's vibrant tourist scene, off the coast of Phang Nga in the Andaman Sea, are the Similan Islands, affording all the peace, quiet, and seclusion to make your getaway as passionate and intimate as it can be. The islands are renowned for their jaw-dropping string of beaches, where the sands are pristinely white, and the waters are alluringly blue. Stunning beaches are not all that the archipelago has in store for you. For those craving a bit of adventure, island hopping in the archipelago will sate your appetite. With the combination of crystal clear waters, striking coral reefs, and schools of tropical fishes — it would be a pity not to check out what the world underwater has to offer.
The bustling capital city of Bangkok may not be the first choice off the top of the head for any couple looking forward to vacationing in the charming Land of Smiles. While it may not be of the classic sense of a romantic getaway that Thailand is renowned for, the vibrant metropolis certainly would not leave you disappointed if the addition of a lavish, big-city experience is on your mind.
If you lovebirds share an interest in history, beautiful sights, and age-old relics, Ayutthaya is undoubtedly an unmissable destination for your Thailand experience. The ancient city set about 80 kilometres north of the capital, Bangkok city is brimming with ruins of the long-gone Siam Kingdom and is one of the most historically and archaeologically significant sites in the country.
If a romantic getaway in Thailand is what's on your mind, your vacation would be nowhere complete without Phuket on the itinerary. The atmosphere is idyllic, things to do are exciting, and no adjective would do justice to the breathtaking beaches. What's adding to your delight is the slew of elegant Phuket resorts, including the likes of Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas.
