Planning a Thailand honeymoon, but just don’t know where to go? Here at Style & the Bride, we have teamed up with Turquoise Holidays to help you find your dream Thailand honeymoon destination.
Did you know that Thailand is often referred to as ‘The land of smiles,’ and once you visit the place, you will understand why. Whatever time of year you are looking to travel, there will be a beach swathed in sunshine awaiting your arrival. However, Thailand offers so much more than beautiful beaches… experience the vibrant colours and cultural heritage of the northern cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, spend two days in the jungle with the elephants in the Khao Sok National Park, visit the buzzing metropolitan city of Bangkok and spend hours exploring the floating flower markets or sipping cocktails in the sky at some of the worlds coolest rooftop bars… and this just scratches the surface.
Beautiful Thailand honeymoon destinations
Bangkok
Bangkok is a vibrant and exciting city, steeped in tradition and yet thoroughly modern. Soaring skyscrapers mix with colourful temples and exotic palaces. Explore the backwater klongs (canals) on a long tail boat or experience the city’s frenetic buzz from the back of a tuk tuk! The floating market in Damnoen Saduak and the ‘Bridge on the River Kwai’ at Kanchanaburi, all close by and are definitely worth visiting if time permits

Arguably home to the best rooftop bar and restaurant in Bangkok, the Banyan Tree, is perfect for stylish couples looking for a modern hotel with a twist of true Thai charm. Rooms are spacious and face out onto the stunning city skyline or the winding Chao Praya River, where we recommend you spend an evening dining and dancing on the hotels private river boat, The Aspara.

Northern Thailand
The ancient cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai within Thailand’s Golden Triangle in the north are the perfect base from which to discover Thailand’s rich culture, which, when combined with forested mountain treks and cycle rides through remote, authentic hill tribe villages, will forge lasting honeymoon memories for you to cherish.

Located at the heart of Chiang Mai, the cultural hub of Thailand, Tamarind Village, is a charming and unique Lanna-style boutique property. Just a few moments walk from the main street, it is perfect for honeymooners who like to get out and about and we highly recommend visiting the night markets and local eateries during your stay.
Tamarind Village is located at the heart of Chiang Mai and is both charming and unique.
West Coast Thailand for winter honeymoons
The beautiful Andaman Coast is home to some of Thailand’s most well known and loved beach destinations, including Phuket, Thailand’s largest island. . It is well developed thanks to its alluring coves and bays, tropical islets and of course the stunning beaches. Crossing to the mainland by bridge from Phuket, a scenic drive takes you to the peaceful beach resort of Khao Lak. Whilst not quite as developed as Phuket, Khao Lak still has plenty to see and do combined with beautiful scenery and lovely, pristine beaches. The picturesque Khao Sok National Park is not far away for elephant trekking and white water rafting while offshore the beautiful Similan Islands offer some of Thailand’s best snorkelling and diving making for a wonderful day trip.

Accessible only by boat, hidden on a peninsula of the mainland, you will find Rayavadee, a breath taking property, with access to three beaches, local restaurants and the azure lagoon surrounding Phang Nga Bay. We love the little touches and romantic extras at Rayavadee, especially The Grotto, a candlelit limestone cave where you can enjoy a romantic dinner under the stars, with the sand between your toes.
How out of this world does Rayavadee look? The perfect place to spend your Thailand honeymoon.
East Coast Thailand for summer honeymoons
Koh Samui is one of Thailand’s most accessible islands and is just a short flight from Bangkok. There are a wonderful array of hotels to choose from and plenty to do on the island; however it is smaller, quieter and less developed than Phuket with more of a laid back island ambiance. Chaweng is a bustling beachfront town for those looking to party; however the rest of the island is much quieter with many of our favourite honeymoon hotels tucked away in secluded bays or on the north of the island. Koh Phangan has an undeserved reputation for attracting more of a backpacker crowd thanks to its renowned party scene and cheap accommodation. However, the island is actually largely undeveloped with idyllic untouched coves and a lush interior waiting to be explored.
