Whether you are a couple seeking fun and adventure or looking for a relaxing stay in a scenic setting, a bustling city like Bangkok may not come to mind first. However, this vibrant city is dotted with spectacular skyline views, boat cruises on the Chao Phraya River and waterfront dining options. So what are the best Bangkok resorts for couples? Read on to get some insights to make up your mind on where to place yourselves.
Pick a secluded neighbourhood
An area away from the city is a peaceful oasis which will make way for relaxation and lets visitors get some quality sleep. Hotels that are hidden away from the busy neighbourhoods of the Big Mango let you spend some quiet time together and enjoy what life has to offer at a slower pace. Riverside views, low-key streets and a peaceful garden setting are perfect to up the romance. An area like Thon Buri district is a traditional neighbourhood which features modern touches, so that you get to enjoy a mixture of both worlds right at your doorstep.
Evaluate easy transportation access
Bangkok is known as a traffic-congested city. Therefore, it would be time-saving and stress-free to choose an accommodation within easy reach of places you are hoping to visit. A resort like Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort has a variety of transport options such as shuttle boats, river ferries, the BTS via the Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain Station and local bus routes close by. Therefore, you will not need to stress over how to navigate to places. Unlike road travel, journeys on the BTS and MRT are quick and comfortable. Therefore, you will be able to beat the heat and the crowds. They follow a timetable as well, so you can plan your excursions around them. They also pass some of the most prominent tourist attractions, like major shopping malls, dining spots and cultural sites, allowing couples to transit to daytime tours across places like temples to nighttime spots like Khao San Road.
Go for romance-focused amenities in the property
Turn a busy city trip into an intimate, calm sanctuary. If you make sure that the hotel you are staying in has plenty of couple-focused activities at hand, you need not step out of the property at all times seeking relaxation and entertainment. You will be able to indulge in these around the clock, as they are set under the roof you are staying in. Private spaces like couple spas allow partners to reconnect and talk without distractions. Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort has dedicated couple’s treatment rooms equipped with private bathtubs, garden rain showers, and traditional Thai pavilions that ensure privacy and relaxation. Personalised dining options such as curated menus and riverfront settings at the property restaurants let you share memories which you can keep returning to long after your romantic retreat is over.
Make sure outdoor couple activities are available
Those who love outdoor adventures will not be disappointed when they stay at a Bangkok resort. This futuristic city has plenty of things that couples can engage in, such as boat cruises on the Chao Phraya River, which gives them the opportunity to set sights on landmarks in the city from a short distance. This is an especially useful way to enjoy the must-visit attractions in Bangkok and also enjoy the authentic side of riverside life. Those into natural beauty can visit green spaces like Lumpini Park. Enjoy a stroll, take a swan boat ride on the central lake or have a picnic amid greenery and wildlife such as Asian water monitor lizards, stray cats, turtles and birds. A walk across Mahanakhon SkyWalk is thrilling, as this is a high-altitude glass tray floor set 314 metres above the city.
