There's a reason Thailand tops every "best honeymoon" list: the islands are absurdly photogenic, the hotels genuinely pamper you, and your money goes further than almost anywhere else on Earth.
Where to go for a Thailand honeymoon
Phuket & Krabi
The classic choice, and still the best all-rounder. Phuket gives you clifftop sunset dinners and five-star resorts; Krabi gives you the limestone karsts and quieter beaches of Railay and Ao Nang. Pair them and you get the best of both — which is exactly why our Island Romance package splits its time between the two.
Phi Phi & the Andaman islands
For the pure honeymoon fantasy — turquoise lagoons, towering cliffs, snorkelling with reef fish — a Phi Phi island-hopping day is non-negotiable. Some couples stay on the island itself; we usually recommend day-tripping from a more comfortable base so you get the scenery without the crowds.
Chiang Mai
If you want a few days of culture before the beach, the north is the move. Sunset at Doi Suthep, a private cooking class, and boutique hotels in the old city. It's the perfect slow start before you disappear into the islands.
When to go
November to April is peak for the Andaman coast — dry, calm seas and reliable sunsets. If you're tied to summer dates, the Gulf islands like Koh Samui are your drier bet. Read our full best time to visit Thailand guide before locking dates.
What a Thailand honeymoon costs
A comfortable two-week honeymoon with four-to-five-star hotels and a couple of included tours runs roughly £1,800–£2,500 per person, including flights. You can do it for less with smart hotel choices, or push higher with overwater villas and private boats. Our packages start at £1,895 per person, with the romantic extras already built in.
A rough budget breakdown
- Flights — £550–£850pp return from London.
- Hotels — £80–£250 a night for four-to-five-star beach resorts.
- Tours & extras — £150–£400pp for a private boat day, dinner and a spa afternoon.
- Food & drink — £30–£80 a day for two, depending on how much you splash out.
Five honeymoon touches worth the upgrade
- A private longtail boat day through Phang Nga Bay — no crowds, just the two of you.
- A clifftop or beachfront dinner at sunset.
- A couples' spa afternoon (Thai massage is renowned for a reason).
- An island-hopping day to a sandbank that disappears at high tide.
- A few nights in a villa with its own plunge pool, if the budget stretches.
Practical tips for couples
- Book the first night light — land, settle in, and let the jet lag pass before the big moments.
- Ask about room upgrades — honeymooners often get a free bump; we flag it with the hotels on your behalf.
- Mix the pace — a few busy sightseeing days, then a few of doing nothing at all.

Quick questions, answered
Which island is the most romantic?
Krabi and Railay for the dramatic limestone scenery, or a private clifftop resort on Phuket if you want the full pampered experience. A Phi Phi day trip gives you the classic lagoon photos without staying in the busiest spot.
How far ahead should we book?
For the peak November-to-April months, six months ahead gets you the best rooms. The standout resorts sell out fast, so early is genuinely worth it.
Do hotels do anything special for honeymooners?
Often, yes — room upgrades, flowers, a bottle of something cold. It's informal and varies by hotel, but we flag it on your behalf when we book, and it usually helps.
What does a Thailand honeymoon cost?
Roughly £1,800–£2,500 per person for two weeks with good hotels, depending on the resorts. Our Island Romance package starts at £1,895pp with the romantic extras built in.
