Top things to do in Bangkok for couples - “Bangkok the new city of Love?”

Chatuchak Weekend Market
This sprawling market is one of the largest in the world, with over 15,000 stalls selling everything from clothing and accessories to antiques and home decor. Whether you’re searching for a special memento or simply enjoying the thrill of bargain hunting, Chatuchak is an unforgettable shopping experience. Since it is less than an hour away from popular Bangkok studio apartments such as the Citadines Sukhumvit 11 Bangkok, couples who thoroughly enjoy shopping can make quick pit stops at the apartment before returning to their shopping spree.

Asiatique The Riverfront
For a more romantic evening market experience, visit Asiatique The Riverfront, located along the Chao Phraya River. Asiatique combines a night market with a mall, offering a blend of shopping, dining, and entertainment. The riverside location and relaxed atmosphere make it perfect for a couple’s night out. After browsing the stalls, you can ride the Ferris wheel for a bird’s-eye view of the city or enjoy a riverside meal while watching boats drift by. 

Wat Pho: The Reclining Buddha
Wat Pho, home to the massive reclining Buddha, is a must-visit temple for couples. The temple’s serene gardens, intricate architecture, and peaceful atmosphere make it a wonderful place to explore hand-in-hand. The reclining Buddha statue, which stretches 46 metres long, is a breathtaking sight and a symbol of enlightenment and peace.

Wat Arun: The Temple of Dawn
For a stunning temple experience, visit Wat Arun, known as the Temple of Dawn. This temple, located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, is particularly beautiful at sunrise or sunset. Climbing the steep steps of Wat Arun together is a thrilling experience, and the panoramic view of the river and city from the top is a reward you’ll both cherish.

Sunset and Evening Cruises
As the sun sets, the sky above Bangkok is painted in hues of pink and orange, creating the perfect romantic backdrop. Many boats offer dinner cruises where couples can enjoy a meal while gliding past illuminated landmarks like the Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), the Grand Palace, and other riverside temples. 

Private Longtail Boat Rides
These boats allow you to explore the smaller canals, or "khlongs," which are less crowded and offer a more intimate view of Bangkok’s local life. As you navigate through the quieter waterways, you’ll pass by wooden stilt houses, local markets, and lush green areas, making for a peaceful escape from the bustling city streets.

Lumpini Park
Lumpini Park, often referred to as the "green lung" of Bangkok, is a large urban park that provides a tranquil space for couples to relax and enjoy nature. The park is a popular spot for morning walks, picnics, and paddle boating on its central lake. The lush greenery, shady trees, and gentle breezes make Lumpini Park the perfect place to unwind with your partner.

Bang Krachao: Bangkok’s Green Lung
For a more adventurous escape into nature, visit Bang Krachao, an area often called the "Green Lung" of Bangkok. Couples can explore the area by bicycle, riding along elevated pathways through the mangroves and farmlands.

Street Food Tours
One of the best ways to experience Bangkok’s vibrant food culture is by going on a street food tour. Bangkok’s street food is world-famous, and sampling it with your partner is an adventure in itself. Wander through the streets of Chinatown (Yaowarat) or Old Town, where you can savour everything from pad Thai and grilled skewers to exotic tropical fruits and refreshing coconut ice cream.

Rooftop Dining
Dining at one of these elevated venues provides a romantic and intimate atmosphere, with glittering city lights below and the stars above. Whether you’re enjoying a gourmet Thai meal or sipping cocktails as the sun sets, rooftop dining in Bangkok is an unforgettable experience that adds a touch of glamour and sophistication to your trip.
