Why Thailand works for couples

Thailand gives couples enormous range for the money. A ten-night trip can hold a city, a mountain town and two very different islands without ever feeling rushed, and the domestic flight network makes moving between them simple.

For a romantic trip specifically, the Andaman coast is the strongest choice. Krabi, Phang Nga and the smaller islands off Phuket give you the limestone scenery Thailand is known for, with resorts tucked into bays that only boats reach.

The Gulf side — Koh Samui and Koh Tao — runs on the opposite monsoon calendar, which means Thailand has a good island somewhere in the country in every month of the year.

What couples do here

  • Phang Nga Bay by longtail
  • Bangkok's temples and the Chao Phraya ferries
  • Krabi's limestone karsts and Railay
  • Koh Samui for a slower second week
Timing

When to visit Thailand

The Andaman side is dry and flat-calm from November to April. When it turns, the Gulf islands take over from roughly February to September, so the country is in season year-round if you pick the right coast.

  • Nov – FebidealCool, dry and the best conditions on the Andaman coast.
  • Mar – AprgoodHot but still dry. Excellent island visibility.
  • May – JulshoulderSwitch to Koh Samui and the Gulf islands.
  • Aug – OctshoulderWettest on the Andaman side. Big rate reductions.

      Common questions

      Thailand, answered

      Phuket, Krabi or Koh Samui for a honeymoon?
      Krabi for scenery and quiet, Phuket for range and easy flights, Koh Samui when you are travelling between May and September. Many couples combine Krabi with a night or two in Phuket for the connection.
      Is Thailand still good value?
      Very. Mid-range resorts here deliver rooms and food that would cost noticeably more in the Maldives or Bali, and internal travel is cheap enough to see several regions in one trip.
      How many nights do we need?
      Six nights covers one island properly with a night either side. Nine to ten lets you add Bangkok or Chiang Mai without it feeling like a transit exercise.
