DESERTED ISLAND GETAWAY

Island-hopping in southern Thailand uncovers some of the planet’s most idyllic tropical enclaves. White, black and golden sands, bamboo beach bungalows, luxurious pool villas, swaying palms, azure oceans, coral reefs – the region’s got it all. Hide away in blissful Koh Lipe, exploring its hidden coves and bays for an island escape devoid of tourist crowds.

MOONLIT DINING

Thailand’s tropical weather lends itself to al fresco dinners by the sea, moonlight reflecting off the water, cooling breeze on the face. Choose practically any beach in Thailand and set up a table for two on the shore, dining with toes in the sand. Or opt for something fancy, with a memorable culinary experience perched over the sea on Samui’s rocky coastline, watching sunset splash across the sky.

A MEKONG CRUISE FOR TWO

Picture this: the languid Mekong River, a stylish cruising vessel, gourmet dining, private crew and the two of you. There are myriad cruises in Thailand, but for something unique, escape to a chic, laidback drift along the region’s most iconic waterways, sailing the Mekong from Chiang Khong to Luang Prabang in Laos.

GLAMPING AND ELEPHANTS

A bucket-list travel experience for many, elephant encounters have come a long way from the days of circus acts and jungle treks. Today’s enlightened couples can get close to elephants with forest walks, river baths and feeding sessions – all of which support the elephants and their mahouts and families. Stay in a luxurious tented camp for added ambience and let the romance run wild.

NATURE LOVERS

Wake up on an emerald lake, surrounded by towering limestone mountains. Spend your days swimming, kayaking and trekking together, immersed in one of the world’s oldest evergreen forests. The vast Khao Sok National Park is a ‘hidden gem’ as far as unspoiled Thailand destinations go, and provides an unforgettable adventure for couples who can’t get enough of nature.

URBAN INDULGENCE

For a swanky staycation or pampered couple’s experience, Bangkok is your city for unbridled romance and luxury. Michelin dining, indulgent spas, designer hotels, rooftop bars, riverside restaurants, sleek nightclubs – there are myriad ways to ignite passion in the capital. Spend an evening admiring the city’s lights, see the sights aboard a stylish dinner cruise or head to a designer hotel for a private Chef’s Table extravaganza. 

ALL ABOARD NOSTALGIC LUXURY

For old-school romance, what could be more romantic than a journey aboard a fabled luxury train? Hop on in Bangkok and travel overland to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, or simply board for a dinner experience ensconced in lavish style. Watch tropical landscapes roll by from the Restaurant Car, gaze into lush greenery from the Observation Car or pop open a bottle of Champagne in the Bar Car before retiring to your private cabin.
