Thailand is renowned for being a prime location for romantic honeymoon/anniversary getaways. The country's diverse locations, stretching from the mountains and rural areas in the north down to the sun-drenched islands in the south, means that it is perfectly poised to cater to a variety of different tastes. Find inspiration for your honeymoon/anniversary holiday in our guide.
How Many Days to Stay for a Thailand Honeymoon?
Thailand can be divided into three main regions for travelers. Recommended stays are slightly different for each region.
Northern Thailand: Historic Relics, Nature, Elephants, And Local Villages.
- Chiang Mai (3–5 days): It is rich in historic temples and famous for its elephant sanctuary and night safari. Flying lanterns at the Yi Peng Festival is the top highlight for November travel.
- Chiang Rai (2–3 days): A 3-hour drive from Chiang Mai, it shares some similarities with Chiang Mai. But Chiang Rai offers more rustic views. You also can see the border of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar there.

Central Plains: Bangkok And City Gateways
- Bangkok (3–5 days): The capital city boasts The Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, and floating markets. It is also known for shopping paradises, nightlife, and street food. As an international flights hub, you'll have many international flight choices.

Southern Thailand: Great Beaches
- Phuket (3–5 days): As Thailand's biggest island, it is easily accessible. If you're looking for a party atmosphere and water activities, Phuket is the ideal island.
- Koh Samui (3–5 days): The serenity and picturesque scenery offer a perfect getaway for newlyweds. Its fine dining and luxury resorts deserve a try.
- Krabi (2–4 days): Known for its adventurous activities, it offers unspoiled scenery. But its facilities are not as well developed.

Most couples spend a honeymoon in Thailand between 7 days and 2 weeks. If you just have a week in Thailand, visiting 1 to 2 regions is better for a relaxing tour pace.
Travelers usually choose a 2-week full exploration of Thailand, or a southeast Asia tour including 5–8 days in Thailand. Thailand-Vietnam, Thailand- Cambodia, and Thailand-Myanmar are good choices.
China Highlights, Asia Highlights, and Global Highlights collaborate to provide families and couples with personalized and stress-free experiences in diverse destinations.

Thailand, Singapore, Bali
In Thailand, Tanny and Nori(Suparp), were both incredible! They were both fun, funny, and full of knowledge and made sure we got the full experience. They went the extra mile and always made sure we had cold bottled water and towels to cleanse our hands. In Singapore, Nicole was an absolute gem. She was so kind and knowledgeable and guided us in the right direction to make our day as enjoyable as possible. She helped us choose a top notch local lunch and coffee spot in China Town and taught us so much about the country! In Bali, Emon was an absolute joy. He was very knowledgeable and kind and absolutely made sure we were feeling comfortable and was willing to be flexible with us. He was fun to converse with and made our time traveling between destinations so enjoyable! I cannot recommend Asia Highlights enough! Accommodations, travel arrangements and guided tours were all a breeze. More

Large multi-generational holiday in Thailand
The holiday was wonderful. Our guides, Mr Monchai (Bangkok), and Ms Tipagorn (Tippy) (Chiang Mai) were exceptional. Travelling in a large multigenerational group with many children requires patience and our guides truly understood that. Mr Monchai and Ms Tippy shared their extensive knowledge of the many wonderful places we visited, and were flexible to take us to additional places along the way based on discussions. While everyday was busy, having them greet us with patience and a smile truly made this a memorable holiday. The hotels we stayed at were equally wonderful and went above and beyond to celebrate not only my parents 50th anniversary but also celebrate 2 milestone birthdays that occurred. We will cherish this holiday for many years to come. We hope to use Asia Highlights again. More

Wonderful Guides and Experience
Our large group arrived in Bangkok with Tanni as our guide. She was wonderful! An absolute joy to spend time with. She is knowledgeable, kind, and extremely funny. I don’t know what we would have done without her! After Bangkok, we traveled to Chang Mai, where Indy was our tour guide. She was a delight! She is kind, knowledgeable, and so patient. Our trip to Thailand was an adventure of a lifetime and these two women helped make it memorable. I would definitely use Asia Highlights for any future travel in Asia. More

Guide - Chai
We travelled from Vietnam to Bangkok and were blessed to have a guide named Chai. He was a superb guide and it is a pity we couldn't bottle him and take him home. He was very knowledgeable and an absolute gentleman. He could not have done enough to facilitate us and imparted so much knowledge about the Temples, Buddism and the History of Thailand in general. Not only did he give us a great overview of the past and current ways of living in Thailand but I also feel I came away a much better person having interacting with him. I will carry many of his teachings with me for the rest of my life and know that having met him was a very special blessing in my life. More

We are only on day 5 of our 15 day trip…
Our first stop so far was in Hanoi where our guide Trong was just so awesome! He shared about his culture and family life which showing us sites through a city tour. He was so funny making lots of jokes and always made sure we were having fun while learning about everything! He checked on us frequently even when we were no longer with him since we then went on a cruise in Halong Bay! Halong Bay and the cruise on Paradise Elegance went way above anything I expected. The scenery was breathtaking, the ship was so beautiful and clean with such fresh, good food! And I can’t sing enough praise for the staff who took care of us- especially Anna and Belle! They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every aspect from eating meals with Anna to every other detail with Belle! I highly recommend Asian Highlights to help plan these extraordinary trips! This already has been a trip of a lifetime and we still have so much more to see all thanks to Cathy!! More

Cost for a Honeymoon in Thailand
When travelling to Thailand, international flights typically count as more than 50% of your budget. Direct international flights to Bangkok are available from America, the UK, and Australia, which are convenient, but more costly. Making a stopover at popular Asian air hubs (e.g. Hong Kong, Tokyo, or Singapore) may be helpful to save some of the cost.
After landing in Thailand, your costs will vary according to what you choose to experience. You can enjoy a private day trip at about 150 to 200 USD. Or pay just 5–10 USD to hop on a scooter and explore the cities or countryside.
The fine dining in Thailand or Southeast Asia deserves a try. Paying US$200, you'll get better service and more exquisite food than what you would back home.
Travel with us to enjoy a comfortable and flexible private tour. With Asia Highlights, you enjoy 100% refund of any payments made to China Highlights prior to 3 weeks before departure (detail⇒).
Best Time to Visit Thailand for Honeymoon

November to February is the best time to visit Thailand for a honeymoon, because of the sunny, warm, and dry weather in most areas of Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak...). All kinds of activities are at their best time.
Thailand's rainy season usually starts in June and ends in October. While Koh Samui is an exception. It's rainiest and windiest between October and December. So, July to September and January to March are the best times to visit Koh Samui for a honeymoon.
Many travelers may be concerned that the rainy season will affect their travel experience, but, unfortunately, their vacation time falls right in that period. Don't worry about that. The rain is usually just short afternoon/dusk downpours. So, you can still enjoy most of a day without much inconvenience. Our travel expert will also help create a suitable itinerary to minimize the impact of weather on your travel experience. >>>Best Times to Visit Thailand
