1. Warm temperatures all year round
Thanks to the tropical climate, you can pack summer clothes for your honeymoon in Thailand at any time of the year. November to April is the best travel time but during July and August you will enjoy the most beautiful nature, despite the occasional shower falling from the sky. However, for those looking for a warm, sunny destination, Thailand's climate will never disappoint.
2. Thai (street) food
Pad thai, tom yum soup and delicious curries. Thailand has an extensive cuisine with unique flavours and ingredients. However, watch out for the peppers! Our taste buds will not always find these pleasant. The range of fruits and vegetables here is also very wide. Stop by the small market stalls and buy local, fresh fruit to enjoy during a picnic at the beach.
3. The variety of landscapes
Do you like the hustle and bustle of a capital city or would you rather dream away with a book on a white beach? Both are possible in Thailand. In the capital Bangkok, experience the busy city life, shop in modern shopping malls and take a dip in the pool of one of the skyscrapers. On the many islands such as Ko Samui, Phuket and Ko Phi Phi, you can enjoy white beaches and clear blue water. In northern Thailand, visit beautiful temples and hike through verdant national parks.
4. The rich Thai culture
Thai culture is one of the richest with influences from countries such as China and India. Visit the Royal Palace and Wat Pho in Bangkok. At Wat Pho, you will discover a reclining Buddha measuring a whopping 46 metres long! Wat Rong Khun, a shining white temple, is also a beautiful sight to visit in Thailand. Tip: go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Also bring the right attire: your shoulders should be covered and your skirt or trousers should reach over the knees.
5. Phuket
Phuket is Thailand's largest island by area, and is a reason in itself to choose this diverse country for your honeymoon. You will enjoy sun, sea, beaches and beautiful hotels. Phuket also makes the base during your honeymoon in Thailand for day trips to the Phi Phi Islands, the James Bond rock and so much more. Find a swing on the beach and watch the sun set colourfully.
6. Water sports
Thailand also has a rich underwater culture. Water sports enthusiasts here can dive, snorkel, raft, kayak and jet ski to their hearts' content!
7. Ayutthaya
Ayutthaya was once the capital of Thailand. Today, it is a paradise for culture lovers. Just 80 kilometres from Bangkok, this city is easily accessible by bus, train or car. Perfect for a day trip! Don't forget to take a selfie with the face in the tree of Wat Mahathat!
8. Thailand Lantern Festival
During the full moon of the 12th month of the Thai lunar calendar, the Thailand Lantern Festival is celebrated and you will behold a sky full of wishing balloons. Bucket list, anyone?
9. The most romantic hotels
Apart from all this culture, you can also completely relax during your honeymoon in Thailand. Book a romantic hotel to unwind as a couple. Do you like to have privacy during your honeymoon? Then book one of the many private villas on the islands.
10. Gibbons
You'll see these ‘cute’ marmosets happily prancing around while visiting Khao Sok national park. But not only the gibbons are a reason to go to Thailand on your honeymoon. A visit to a national park can also give you beautiful photos of elephants, tigers and tapirs.
