Enjoy a romantic dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River

There are plenty of places for a romantic dinner in Bangkok but why not enjoy a private dinner cruise down the Chao Phraya River, such as the Banyan tree’s Apsara.

By choosing a smaller cruise, it gives a more intimate and romantic experience, it is will however going to be a bit more expensive as it would be if you went to a 5 star restaurant but well worth it.

Otherwise if you don’t want feel like a dinner cruise you can also jump on one of the tourist boats or hire one of the small thin boats to take you along the river (keep a look out for the fish, they come to the surface and rub their bellies on the top of the water).

Our recommended tours:

Devour a rooftop dinner or private dinning experience

There are certainly no shortage of rooftop bars in Bangkok, my personal favourite is Vertigo at Banyan tree, it has a great view of the city (but only a bit of the river).

If you would prefer a view of the river, Sky bar /Sirocco is probably your best bet. I don’t believe private dinning is possible in these are restaurants (unless you are very wealthy and can afford to book out the whole restaurant) however you can still enjoy a romantic evening surrounded by other couples.

If you would like private dinning, your best bet would be to contact your hotel reception and I’m sure they will be able to assist, most hotels have several private dining experiences.

Relax with a couples massage

This is a no brainer! Most hotels have fantastic spa areas that can cater to every need or want to assist with your relaxation, although the services at hotels can be quite expensive. Bangkok has many well known day spa you could try instead.

Request a couples massage or treatment, relax and be pampered together otherwise you can get the hotel concierge to book you into the one of the best couple spa in Bangkok at the “So Thai Spa”.

VIP cinema experience

Bangkok has a lot of giant air conditioned movie cinemas and yes you can watch a movie in English. I bet you are wondering how this is romantic and what’s the difference between watching a movie at home or in Bangkok?

The difference is that you can book VIP seats in the luxury cinema’s, these are much smaller than the normal cinema’s with comfortable seating, that in most cases recline and in some cinemas you can chill out in bean bags!

Embassy Diplomat theater complex offers a full day bed sofa and comes with blankets, pillows, personal lighting and control panel.

Hot Tip: Don’t forget to stand up during the Royal Anthem at the beginning of the movie.

Extra Hot Tip: Wednesday’s are the best day to go to the movies as they offer discounted prices! VIP seating usually starts at about 700 Baht per person, which coming from Australia, I would say this is fairly reasonable!! You receive gourmet meals and drinks to enjoy throughout the movie.

Cook up a storm in a couples cooking class

Why not learn to cook like a Thai, while in Thailand. Thai food is some of the best food in the world! Be the master of your own chili!

Cooking classes are a great way to have fun and interact with each other and in most cases you also get to take the recipes home, which means when cooking together at home you will always be reminded of the fun and exciting times you had together in Thailand.

Our recommended cooking classes:

Wander around world famous temples hand in hand

Thailand has an incredible history; you can easily spend the day wandering around Thailand ancient capital, Ayutthaya. Ayutthaya is located approx 2.5 hours out of Bangkok, here you will learn all about the ancient history of Bangkok’s first capital city.

If you don’t have time to go out to Ayutthaya, there are plenty of temples in the Bangkok city. To name a few: Wat Arun, which is in the shape of a rocket, Wat Pho which houses a 46m reclining Buddha and next door is the Grand Palace.

Get your freak on with a bike tour around Bangkok

Take a bike tour around Bangkok, it’s one of the best ways to see the city, however not recommended during summer as it is far too hot! Try “Follow me Bike Tours”, which takes you on a 4 hour tour for approx. 1000 baht.

Ride through the backstreets of Bangkok city, taking in the local life, with a quick stop off at local markets to sample some fresh fruit and other goodies and then head off to view some Bangkok temples. Make sure to take lots of sunscreen and a hat and lots of water.

  1. Great post! We are heading to Bangkok at the end of the year, but we’re bringing my dad so we won’t have much time for romance! lol We’ll probably do a few of these, though, the couples massage and visit Ayutthaya. Thanks!
