Best Time to visit Thailand
Hot all year, Thailand offers the best climate between November and March when it is cooler and rains the least. That said, it does vary from North to South so once you have chosen a destination, check with your Travel Agent for more details before booking your Thailand honeymoon or destination wedding.
Best Beaches in Thailand
Beautiful beaches can be found all around the Thai coastline, with some of the best ones on offer in Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui. In short, Thailand is a beach-lovers haven.
For Activity Lovers
As with many resorts, water sports are plentiful in their availability with diving, snorkelling and kayaking particularly popular. For those honeymooners looking for activities to partake in on dry land, Thailand offers multiple trekking and rock climbing opportunities.
Local Flavours of Thailand
Thai cuisine is famous the world over, and as you would expect curries are a local speciality. Noodles, chilli’s and salads are plentiful and the creamy curries of Thailand are unbelieveably tasty yet mild enough to not leave you heading for the bathroom every ten minutes!
On a Night in Thailand
Lively yet relaxed is the order of the day in the towns and villages around the coast. For those couples looking for more vibrant nightlife, head inland to Bangkok with its bars and clubs a plenty.
Shopping in Thailand
Shopping in Thailand is more bustling and low key as opposed to modern and hectic. Stunning local arts and crafts, including hand carved goods and raw silk items, can be found everywhere. Theatrical masks, puppets, and Buddhist artefacts (including a whole host of items featuring Buddha himself) are local specialities.
Top Resorts in Thailand
The beach resorts of Phuket, Koh Lanta, Koh Samui, Hua Hin, Krabi, Cha-Am and Pattaya are rightfully popular, as is the vibrant capital Bangkok. For a different type of Thailand honeymoon head north to Chiang Rai or Chiang Mai.
Out & About in Thailand
The world-famous Floating Market of Bangkok is something every honeymooner to Thailand should make time for. If you are feeling more cultural, Thailand offers visitors a unique opportunity to see some of the world’s most beautiful temples, including the Grand Palace & Temple of the Emerald Buddha, although you can even take a trip to see some of the smaller ones in the Northern part of the country by elephant! Spending time with the friendly locals is a wonderful thing to do and it is hard to find nicer people anywhere in the world. For those after excitement, a night out watching Thai Boxing is a must.
