Guest bloggers Jim and Christina Butcher from Mr & Mrs Romance present their 7 most romantic activities in Thailand.

Mysterious, exotic, beautiful, and alluring. These are words associated with travel and romance. And it's no coincidence that these very words so aptly describe Thailand.

The Kingdom of Thailand, nestled high in the heart of Southeast Asia, exudes the magic of travel. From its idyllic tropical beaches and vibrant cities to its gold-adorned temples and majestic, mist-shrouded mountains, Thailand offers a seemingly endless array of experiences.

However, these seven ideas will inspire you to make romantic travel plans and invoke Trimurti, the Thai goddess of love.

1. Luxurious dinner on a private beach in Phuket

The candlelight and the white tablecloth flutter in the warm evening breeze, and the sound of the waves of the Andaman Sea seems to touch your toes as they curl in the sand.

This is a dinner of pure romance, where you will be served exquisite Thai delicacies course after course, while you both enjoy this luxurious moment.

Many hotels in Phuket offer this incredible experience, but the private beach dining at Aleenta Phuket is simply heavenly.

2. Enjoy cocktails high above Bangkok

High above the glitz and chaos of the capital, Bangkok's rooftop bars offer the epitome of romance. Your martini tastes somehow even better as you gaze down at the bustling streets below or take in the skyline as the balmy night sky rises deep and dark above.

Bangkok has always been a pioneer of extravagant rooftop bars, but King Power Mahanakhon surpasses them all. At 314 meters, the Mahanakhon Skywalk is not only the highest viewpoint in Bangkok, but also Thailand's highest bar.

One floor below, the SkyBar offers some of the best dining options in the city with panoramic views from this landmark of Thai architecture.

3. Island hopping around Krabi with a private speedboat

Her private boat glides across the shimmering waters of the southern Andaman Islands, leaving a white wake in the direction of the towering domes of mysterious karst mountains rising from the sea.

As soon as you arrive at the first beach, the crystal-white sand beckons you into the clear, turquoise water. Whether snorkeling, swimming, or relaxing in the shade of the towering cliffs that surround the beach – it feels as if you both, alone in the world, know this place.

Although traditional longtail motorboats may look more beautiful, modern speedboats are quieter and faster, allowing you to travel further and more comfortably.

4. Exploring the temples of Chiang Mai and receiving a blessing from monks

Nestled in the valleys of the northern mountains lies Chiang Mai, a modern city of culture, silver, and temples. Nowhere else in Thailand are there as many temples as in Chiang Mai.

From the intricately decorated silver temple Wat Suen Man to the mighty and holiest Wat Phra That Doi Suthep with its gold-decorated chedi high above the city – exploring the temples of Chiang Mai is an architectural pleasure as well as a spiritual and cultural one.

The two fascinating temples Pra Ma Ha Tat Noppamethanedon and Pra Ma Ha Tat Nopphonphusiri, which commemorate King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit, are located so high in the mountains and are often shrouded in mist, which further enhances the romantic character of the place.

Being blessed by Thai monks in such a place is a profound experience. However, one should be aware of the important protocols and also bring an offering.

5. Stroll through the flower market and take a private Thai cooking lesson.

Pak Khlong Talat is a firework display of colors, movement, food and flowers, and the largest market for fresh produce in Thailand and one of the largest in the world.

But this Bangkok landmark isn't just home to flowers for temple offerings or baskets full of chilies and fruit. High above the hustle and bustle is a cooking school where you can learn to prepare Thai dishes and relive your romantic experience in the Land of Smiles forever.

6. Relaxation during a Thai couples massage

Enjoying a relaxing visit to a Thai spa with your partner is simply magical. As you both unwind in the warm, tranquil atmosphere of the treatment room, it's hard to imagine the noise and bustle of the city outside.

There are countless day spas throughout Thailand and many hotels have their own, but the Oasis Spa at Sukhumvit 31 is luxurious and incredible.

7. Watch the sunset in Bangkok's old town

When the sky transforms into a delicate pattern of gleaming gold and Bangkok immerses itself in its nightly ritual, there is only one place to be: by the Chao Phraya River, where you can watch the light touch Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace for the last time.

From your vantage point in the elegant and understated rooftop bar Above Riva, your evening begins with a delicious cocktail and an unparalleled light show.
