7 of the best honeymoon destinations in Thailand

1. Phuket

Phuket is one of Thailand's most popular honeymoon destinations. Dreamy beaches, lush jungle, breathtaking landscapes, and luxurious resorts invite exploration. There are countless spectacular natural beauties, and the Sino-Portuguese architecture in Phuket's Old Town is incredibly romantic. We recommend newlyweds snorkeling trips around the Similan Islands, a visit to the Phi Phi Islands for some relaxing time, sunsets from Cape Promthep, and an evening stroll through the Old Town.

2. Koh Samui

Koh Samui is Thailand's second largest island, located off the east coast of the Chumphon Archipelago in Surat Thani province. It's an ideal destination for a romantic honeymoon, renowned for its powder-white sand beaches, deep blue waters, and lush rainforest, which captivate countless visitors. The luxurious resorts offer a true paradise for newlyweds. While an endless beach is tempting, we recommend the Ang Thong National Marine Park and the Namuary Waterfalls to more adventurous couples.

3. Krabi

Krabi is the largest town on the west coast of southern Thailand. It's considered a hidden gem in the south, as it's not a typical tourist center. This makes Krabi's idyllic tropical island the perfect honeymoon destination, especially for couples seeking peace and relaxation. Compared to other equally stunning beaches, it's also more affordable. You could say this place is ideal for spending all day in the water, forgetting the world around you. Koh Landa and Railay Beach are also highly recommended destinations for this unforgettable honeymoon.

4. Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai belonged to the independent Lanna Kingdom until 1558. Perhaps this explains why the city has a very different feel than other cities in Thailand. Chiang Mai is known for its calm and relaxed atmosphere – perfect for couples seeking a relaxing getaway. This blend of suburbia and city life offers many beautiful spots, chic cafes, charming shops, and impressive temples. The annual Yipeng Sky Lantern Festival in November is highly recommended.

5. Bangkok

Bangkok, the City of Angels, may seem chaotic at first glance, but on closer inspection, it reveals itself to be a dream honeymoon destination. What makes Bangkok such a popular choice for honeymooners? From picturesque Buddhist monasteries and glamorous parties to romantic candlelit dinners, Bangkok has it all. Recommended attractions include the Grand Palace, a dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River, a visit to Wat Arun and Wat Pho, and a stroll through Chinatown.

6. Phang-Nga

If you're a couple looking for a peaceful getaway, you'll love Phang-Nga. Located above popular cities like Phuket and Krabi, the province boasts a mountainous, forested landscape and is home to beautiful islands, including the famous Similan Islands and Surin. Phang-Nga is equally renowned for its stunning scenery and spectacular bay, a surfer's paradise. A visit to Khao Lak, Khao Sok National Park, and Nang Thong Beach (the black sand beach) is highly recommended.

7. Hua Hin

Hua Hin is a well-known district in the province of Prachuap Khiri Khan. The Thai government promotes it as the "Thai Riviera" due to its popularity as a beach resort. Just a three-hour drive from Bangkok, Hua Hin offers the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle and relax. This peaceful district is ideal for those seeking a romantic getaway. Recommended activities include visiting the night markets, diving, exploring Khao Sam Roi Yot, or simply spending a relaxing day on the beach.
