Southern Thailand has been a breathtaking paradise for newlyweds in recent years. Usually, people select this location not only for luxurious resorts and world-class hospitality, but it also provides the perfect backdrop for creating some couple cherished memories. So many tourists recognise the site as the idyllic setting for their honeymoon.
Southern Thailand can offer an ideal honeymoon based on what its visitors want, from enjoying a romantic cruise, snorkelling among colourful coral reefs, or simply unwinding in the tranquility of their private beachfront villa.
Then, imagine you will stroll hand-in-hand with your belove along powdery white sand beaches in the warm tropical sun, tasting the region's renowned cuisine at a candlelit dinner by the sea together. How romantic it is!

With its natural beauty, cultural richness, and luxurious accommodations, I think these Southern Thailand honeymoon packages promise our lovebirds to create a lifetime of cherished memories. Right now, let’s discover the charming side of this region with Asia King Travel!
Your romantic 5 days honeymoon begins as you touch down in Phuket, the "Pearl of the Andaman". Phuket is the location of the most opulent and romantic resorts in Thailand, generally located along pristine sandy beaches and palm-lined lanes, making it convenient for couples to get out and join in any outdoor activities.
While local resorts and villas usually provide the utmost seclusion and best-rate care, I advise couples to some of the possibilities for their first night, such as Trisara Phuket, Amanpuri Phuket, or Paresa Resort Phuket. These renowned resorts offer the most traditional Thai facilities, guaranteeing their guests' privacy and making them feel at home, along with a breathtaking ocean view from their windows.

Now that you are all settled in your accommodation, it's time to indulge in a great dinner at some of Phuket's finest restaurants. If our newlywed couple is looking for a warm ambiance with live Italian music and Western-style food, then La Gritta Phuket would be the best. Otherwise, Mom Thi's Kitchen offers a really unique eating experience whereby you can enjoy regional specialties with the beach as the backdrop and the light sounds of the waves.

It's time to say goodbye to the lovely liveliness that is in Phuket after a relaxing overnight and depart on a beautiful cruise through the Gulf of Thailand, to the absolutely stunning Phi Phi Islands. This archipelago looks very attractive; with its amazing limestone rocks, and turquoise waters, it seems to be the real paradise on earth for some amorous couples.

Couples arriving should visit the well-known Maya Bay, which gained notoriety thanks to the film "The Beach," and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding high cliffs. Then explore the Viking Cave to find out more about the historical rock formations and murals. After that, our lovebirds can close the day trip by scuba diving, snorkelling among colourful coral reefs and marine creatures, and discovering the underwater wonders of the Andaman Sea.

If you would rather not cruise throughout the archipelago, the beaches at Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh could be more your style. These beaches provide the perfect backdrop for relaxing, sunbathing, and taking in the tropical atmosphere. They're also great places for a romantic stroll down the powdery white sand.

My suggestion would then be to cap the day out of island hopping with a sumptuous meal at an ocean-facing restaurant. Nothing can be compared to the feeling of having local cuisine and fresh seafood with a dream-like ocean view at night.
On the third day of your Southern Thailand honeymoon, you'll set off to the beautiful province of Krabi. With a relaxed morning, you will proceed from your luxury resort toward Krabi, this incredibly lovely land of striking limestone cliffs and pure, crystal-clear beaches.

Upon arrival in Krabi, a private longtail boat will whisk couples off for a day filled with excitement and adventure. First and foremost, the much-talked-about Phra Nang Cave Beach, a secret paradise nestled under imposing limestone formations, will be the first visit. Couples can have a stroll around the surroundings and get their feet wet by the waters in this beautiful natural environment.

The following spot will be the famous Chicken Island, an intriguing rock formation roughly shaped to resemble a chicken's head jutting out of the water. In addition to providing amazing photo ops, this natural wonder allows snorkeling in the colourful coral reefs nearby. If you are interested in diving in the azure ocean, feel free to do so.

Then, the honeymoon will continue on the remote Poda island, where you and your spouse may partake in a wide range of water sports. It’s a stunning island, with an awesome-looking beach, and a great rock in front of it, called Ko Ma Tang Ming, similar to the “James Bond” rock of Krabi. Couples can dip in the glistening seas, or just relax on the white sand beaches, soaking in the sun and each other's companionship eventually.

Finally, at the end of the day, treat yourself and your beloved one to a sunset meal at a coastal restaurant. I believe the aromas of the original Thai cuisine, along with the sunset orange and pink tones, would make your thrilling day in Krabi unforgettable.

Well, after three days of exploration, spending time experiencing Koh Lanta's peace is worth every penny. Especially, for couples looking for a romantic and peaceful honeymoon island, the laid-back vibe of this charming island is the ideal factor to put their mind into it.
Welcome to Koh Lanta @Chase for Adventure
Koh Lanta, one of Thailand's largest islands, has avoided overdevelopment in the tourism sector while retaining its natural beauty. This quiet island allows couples to escape the hustle and bustle of more popular holiday destinations such as Phuket and Krabi. Thus, they may be free of the commercialism and crowds that can be generally seen elsewhere in any Thai tourist site.

As you approach the island, quickly take your chance to indulge in local relaxing massages or revitalising treatments. By allowing the experienced therapists to perform their magic, I’m sure that this special treatment will foster relaxation, and stress release, plus make you feel rejuvenated and reunited with your spouse.

If you want to spend more time with your honey, consider skipping local massages and renting bicycles to explore the island at your own pace. The further south you go, the more quiet and tranquil your trip will be. Moreover, you'll find local markets brimming with vibrant colors, aromatic spices, flavourful dishes, and unique handicrafts strolling along the main streets.

As these magical 5 honeymoon days of Southern Thailand come to a close, live these last moments to the fullest of this unforgettable experience.
If there was no opportunity to wander around, then the last morning in Phuket is worth rambling around local markets or shops. I highly recommend watching out for some locally very distinctive materials like elephant pants, slippers, homemade jewelry, and Thai handicrafts to bring home as a souvenir from this honeymoon.

Although Phuket is a built-up tourist destination, there are other areas to visit in Phuket for a more traditional Thai holiday. Phuket Old Town is the island’s cultural centre where you will find traditional shop-houses, temples, and barbers – definitely worth a visit, before leaving this paradise. Also, do remember to pamper yourselves with one last foodie treat with your soulmate before bidding this region adieu.
