There's plenty of nightlife to be found in Bangkok, but there's an equal number of romantic hotels waiting to welcome couples in search of serenity.
Despite its reputation as a party capital, beautiful Bangkok definitely has a romantic side. The city is centred on the undulating Chao Phraya River, which offers the perfect ambience for sunset or starlit cruises, while historical temples and palaces offer the perfect excuse to stroll hand-in-hand through the picturesque remnants of bygone eras. Thousands of modern bars and restaurants cater to every taste, and the unique mix of mega malls, markets and street vendors make it easy to find the perfect gift.
But by far the most important consideration when planning a romantic trip to Bangkok is deciding where to stay. Luckily, a plethora of gorgeous hotels cater very well to couples looking for an intimate, luxurious experience. Make it an affair to remember with our pick of the most romantic hotels in Bangkok.
