Planning

It is essential that you’ve drawn up your own plan for the event before you start on any of the arrangements. Think about your theme, hotel, guest list, food, and entertainment. This will also help you make your budget. Also, consulting a wedding planner when planning your wedding in Thailand is a must.

The backdrop

Do you visualise yourself exchanging rings in the setting of a garden by the beach? Hotels like Chatrium Residence Riverside Bangkok is ideal for a wedding by the riverside. However, have a clear picture in your mind before going ahead and reserving a hotel.

Logistics

When selecting your location in Thailand, you have a wide variety of options from a wedding in the mountains to a wedding by the beach or just at the ballroom of a luxurious hotel. However, if the place is hard to get to, the cost is said to be most likely to increase by 30%.

A bit of Thai

Since your wedding is in Thailand, why not make it unique by adding a touch of Thai culture? Event facilities in Bangkok hotels offer a bit of a Thai twist to your wedding. Still, it is your option whether you’ll go along with it or not.

Romantic Dining Options

Couples will find no finer alternative to the Buri Tara Wine Bar & Restaurant where the romance of Bali’s beachside bliss is recreated in cosmopolitan Bangkok.

Sweet-tooth Options
Couples with a sweet tooth should also stop by to sample the traditional Thai dessert selections at Cher Cheeva, arguably one of the most romantic restaurants in town. Night owls, on the other hand, will find Bangkok’s rooftop bars to be a spectacular setting to enjoy a romantic evening as venues the likes of Sky Bar and Octave offer sweeping views of the city and impressive collections of wines.

A Walk in the Park
Often compared to Central Park in New York, the Lumpini Park is another romantic precinct in the capital where couples can paddle boat around the manmade lake or simply stroll hand in hand around the beautifully maintained lawns and tree-lined avenues of the park.

Cheesy, Romantic Couples Experience in Bangkok

by caleb Posted on

Bangkok is a laid back city in that you can stroll along the streets hand in hand, and no one would bat an eye. However, the high population and the busy nature of the people might make this leisurely stroll difficult. Having said that, there are ways to enjoy some cheesy romance in this city of busyness, if you know what to do, where to go, and what exactly is it that you want.

There are several things to try for a cheesy and romantic couples’ outing. One option is to watch the sunset from Wat Arun. Wat Arun is perhaps the most beautiful temple of all the temples in Bangkok. It stands on the bank of River Chao Phraya, rising above the water. If you can scale the steps at the tallest tower of the temple, you can witness a spectacular sunset over the city, a truly romantic view for any couple. If you are highly social people, you must visit the Moon Bar, a one of a kind rooftop bar that provides panoramic views. However, if either of you is with vertigo, it is best that you steer clear of this place, no matter how romantic a night out here ought to be. However, the most famous romantic couple activity is to visit a Bangkok spa resort. Or opt for a couple spa treatment at any of the numerous massage parlours that are there in the city. It is best that you read up the reviews and look for quality in terms of a spa treatment, though, as most places are more equipped for a quick foot massage than for a day-long romantic one. You can make this a truly memorable experience by opting for a place like Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort where you will get a treatment of a lifetime complete with a view.
