Romantic Holiday Destinations in Thailand

Thailand, in South East Asia, has a well-deserved reputation for being a romantic destination. There are towering mountains (the highest being Doi Inthanon at 2,565 metres), beautiful river valleys such as Chao Phraya and the Mekong and in the south the stunning narrow Kra Isthmus that widens into the Malay Peninsula. The Andaman Sea that ripples along this coast is considered a natural treasure with the luxurious resorts of Phuket, Krabi, Ranong, Phang Nga and Trang and all their associated lush islands being a magnet for those wanting a romantic getaway. The beaches are breathtaking, with pure white sand being lapped by the sparkling clear blue sea. There are lush limestone outcrops and islands with submerged caves and grottoes. The peace and tranquillity is incomparable, perfect for you and your loved one to catch up on some personal time together. There are fascinating places to visit, colourful temples, bustling floating markets, exhilarating river trips by motor launch, refreshing waterfalls, scuba diving; the charms of this country are certainly rich and diverse.

Travelling to this enchanting country couldn't be easier. There are 3 international airports on Thailand at Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. The flight time is approximately 12 hours and connections by express bus, rail or taxi are readily available,

Honeymooning in Thailand is an enticing option with everything from isolated and private beachside villas to remote hillside hideaways. For example, the Banyan Tree by the stunning beach at Phuket, offers guests a sensual and luxurious experience, with each couple having their own villa with private gardens and open air sunken bath. The architecture is typically Thailand richly decorated to celebrate the culture of this fascinating country. With pools, yoga and meditation available as well of course as the chance to stroll hand in hand along the breathtaking coastline you will be ensured of a totally relaxing and rejuvenating honeymoon.

In contrast, high in the forest-draped mountains of Chiang Mai, the Ayatana Hamlet and Spa offers escape of a different nature. Tastefully decorated in calming colours, this haven offers spa treatments, Jacuzzi, indoor and outdoor pool and delicious fresh Thai food in a setting that will soothe your senses as well as provide space to enjoy each other`s company.

As a country so steeped in history and culture, wherever you choose to stay you will be ensured of memories to last a lifetime. Of course you don`t have to be getting married to have that special romantic trip. If you`re the sort of person who loves the sentiment of twelve red roses, you`ll love the sense of intimacy and peace that you and your loved one can get from a trip to Thailand at any time.
