Honeymoon in Thailand & Laos
Laze on tropical beaches, take barefoot walks at sunset, trek through untamed jungles and sleep in floating huts on an authentic honeymoon in Thailand. From daydreamy sands to glittering temples and emerald mountains, Thailand is brilliant honeymoon territory. Hop between tiny exotic islands, snorkel across coral reefs, trek to hidden waterfalls and try traditional cooking classes. Brimming with natural beauty and faraway romance, it guarantees a honeymoon packed with adventure, culture and complete escapism.
Castaway romance
Thailand is nothing if not tropical. Scattered with tiny islands, golden beaches and coral reefs, it’s a postcard-perfect kind of paradise. As honeymoons go, you can’t get much more exotic. Stretch out in the sunshine on Ko Samui, swing in hammocks, swim in azure waters and feel high on Robinson Crusoe sensation. Sleep in atmospheric beach bungalows just metres from the lapping waves, drink fresh coconuts, and feast on local seafood at sunset. It’s a pretty unbeatable way to begin a life together.
Atmospheric accommodation
Sleeping in floating huts or oil-lit safari tents on the rippling River Kwai, swing in hammocks overlooking turquoise seas in classic beach bungalows, stay at home with the locals and relaxing in raft houses bobbing gently on jungle lakes. Our accommodation in Thailand is packed with local atmosphere, giving you a colourful and authentic experience. If you’re after a honeymoon with a bit of a twist, it’ll be right up your street. Our accommodation is hand-picked and welcoming, ensuring that your honeymoon will be filled with local hospitality.
Incredible culture
From the bright lights of Bangkok to the tiny villages tucked away amongst rice terraces, the Thai people are filled with gentle warmth. It’s a culture of real kindness, so you’re bound to feel instantly at home. Sip cocktails on rooftop terraces overlooking the twinkling skyline of Bangkok, amble between the ancient temples of Ayutthaya and stay at home with the locals in tucked-away traditional villages. Wherever you go, you’ll find wide smiles and warm welcomes.
Endless adventure
Thailand is a great place to flirt with adventure, from jungle treks to hilltribe homestays and sunset bat cave safaris. Sleep in floating huts buried in a tropical forest, learn how to care for the local elephants, sail downstream on a bamboo raft and hike to hidden waterfalls on tropical Ko Chang Island. With everything from floating markets to friendly tribes and traditional cooking classes, Thailand is sure to keep you on your toes. Stay in secluded raft houses on jungle lakes, ride the infamous Death Railway and see more temples than you could possibly imagine.
Honeymoon in Laos
Honeymoons are all about finding your own personal piece of the world and Laos might be one of the most intimate countries in Asia. Nestled between the whizzing vespas of Vietnam and the hustle and bustle of Thailand, Laos is a laid back paradise. From sunset cruises along the Mekong and remote hikes into the jungle, to swaying in hammocks in the 4,000 islands and swimming under waterfalls, Laos is the best kept secret honeymoon hide-away in south east Asia.
Feel the love in Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang is easily one of south east Asia’s most atmospheric cities, blessed with a magical atmosphere that has most travellers at ‘hello’. Hugging a curve in the Mekong, it’s a mixture of bougainvillea-lined streets, gold-tipped temples, french bakeries, tawny-robed monks and very friendly locals. There’s absolutely nothing not to like. Wander around the night market, sip delicious coffee, stroll along the river and take a boat trip to watch the blazing sun set over the Mekong.
Get romantic in the rainforest
The Bolaven Plateau is somewhere hard to capture in words. An untamed, emerald jumble of giant ferns, tropical forest, tumbling vines and natural waterfalls, it’s bursting with wilderness romance. Here, you can sleep in a hillside bungalow opposite twin waterfalls crashing 200m into the gorge below. Suffice to say, it’s an unforgettable place to rest your head. You can trek to the minority tribes living in the rainforest, swim in sparkling pools and swing in a hammock with a jaw-dropping view.
Escape into green valleys
Hide from rest of the world in the bright, emerald valley basin of Nong Khiaw, staying in a riverside eco-lodge and slowing down to the lazy pace of life. It’s a pocket of total peace, surrounded by jungle-clad karst mountains and tumbling rice terraces. You’ll stay in a spacious bungalow made of natural materials, with a balcony overlooking the river. Grab a Beer Lao, sit on your balcony, gaze up at skies and watch the stars pop up after sunset. It’s rural romance at its best.
Float between Four Thousand Islands
Let all the wedding stress slip away as you float between the Four Thousand Islands, possibly the most laid-back place on the planet. Some of the islands here are completely submerged in the rainy season, appearing only when water levels recede, lending a mythical atmosphere to the whole area. You can hop between the bigger islands, meet the friendly locals, swing in a hammock and concentrate on doing as little as possible.
