Krabi – It’s hard to beat Krabi when it comes to atmosphere. Magnificent white sand beaches, towering boulders rising from the azure sea, and emerald jungles teeming with flora. All of these things make Krabi our top pick for a romantic getaway. 

Phuket – Coming in a close second is the world renowned tropical island of Phuket. Offering guests a little bit of everything – from awesome beaches to the exciting parties of Patong – Phuket has a little bit of everything for couples. 

Koh Samui – Another one of Thailand’s beautiful islands – Samui offers couples the best of both relaxation and adventure. Take a romantic stroll along the beach or join the famous full moon party with your loved one – Samui is known around the world for good reason. 

Bangkok – So this pick may seem a bit out of place among our list of tropical beaches – but the Thai capital can indeed be a romantic place. Dine high above the city at one of the many rooftop restaurants or take an enchanting cruise on the river. Bangkok gives you and your loved one a chance to enjoy as much seclusion or excitement as you wish. 

Koh Chang – Perhaps the most peaceful place on our list – Koh Chang is Thailand’s hidden island gem ideal for a romantic getaway. Lounge near the turquoise waters or explore the verdant jungles – Koh Chang offers a charming yet exotic refuge from the bustle of modern life.
