Thailand’s bustling capital city may not be the most romantic destination, but couples to the vibrant metropolis are never left disappointed. Come — explore and discover what Thailand’s beating heart has to offer you for a delightful and memorable couple’s getaway during your time in the big city.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the sprawling metropolis, finding a moment of peace and quiet can be challenging. However, Lumpini Park, located in the heart of the lively city, is a true oasis of serenity. This urban respite is centred around a large artificial lake and welcomes visitors with lush green lawns. You can ride a swan boat on the emerald waters, stroll along the cobblestone walkways, or simply unwind on the greens, soaking in the abundant nature and beauty all around you.
Thailand’s most famous floating market makes for more than just shopping and treats visitors to the marketplace to a plethora of authentic experiences. A horde of clamouring vendors selling multifarious merchandise on wooden row boats, from farm-fresh fruits and vegetables to flowers and bowls of mouth-watering boat noodles and seafood skewers, makes it a shopping experience like no other. Grab a boat of your own and paddle through the atmospheric marketplace, seeing what tickles your fancy.
A couple’s getaway in Thailand’s lively capital wouldn’t be complete without treating yourself to an intimate couples' massage. Retreat to one of the best 5-star hotels in Bangkok with world-class spa and wellness facilities, including the likes of Pathumwan Princess Hotel, and let your body, mind and soul wallow in rejuvenation, creating memorable moments on your couple’s getaway in the big city.
As the sun goes down and the azure blue skies slowly fade away, nothing makes for a tranquil evening in Bangkok City like a lovely river cruise on the stunning Chao Phraya River. Hop aboard a boat at sunset and set sail across the unruffled waters, taking in the glamorous city set against the backdrop of the golden skies. Romantic and intimate moments can only get as good as this.
Fun and exciting things to do in Bangkok City are undoubtedly plentiful but your getaway in the lively capital city wouldn’t be complete without savouring authentic Thai cuisine. Steer clear of the gourmet buffet at your ritzy resort and indulge yourself in an assortment of traditional Thai dishes, from fan-favourite Pad Thai and spicy Gaeng Daeng to hot and sour Tom Yum Goong and comforting Khao Soi, and let the longing taste buds revel in the mouth-watering blend of flavours.
