Thumbs-Up Thailand

THAILAND CONTINUES to be a top draw for honeymooners. With its stunning coastline fringed by pristine beaches and tropical islands, lush jungles in the Northern provinces to bustling cities like Bangkok known for its high-octane energy. Thailand offers a smattering of experiences suited to every type of traveller. Did we mention it’s also budget-friendly? Islands like Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi have been popular picks for romantic getaways, but there are also lesser-known destinations such as Koh Kood, known for its unspoilt beauty and Chiang Rai, filled with Siamese temples, mist-covered hills and great cuisine.

From luxury beachfront resorts to boutique hotels, the accommodation options are wide and varied. Opt for longtail boats as you go islandhopping and witness fiery sunsets on the many islands dotting the coastline. Interact with gentle pachyderms in the jungles of Chiang Mai, and indulge in wellness and spa rituals Thailand is renowned for. The capital city Bangkok has plenty of luxury hotels dotting the banks of the Chao Phraya River and is home to Asia’s best dining. From hawker fare to Michelin-star restaurants, you have it all. tourismthailand.org
