Honeymoon
More than 30 million tourists visited Thailand in 2024, which makes this enchanting nation one of the top holiday destinations and as far as honeymoons go, Phuket and the Maldives are the top two destinations for European and US couples.
In this short article, we present a few reasons why the southern Thai Island of Phuket is so popular with honeymoon couples.
Five star luxury accommodation
Take the Heritage Room at the Movenpick Myth Hotel in Patong as an example, unabashed luxury with imported Italian furniture and all the trimmings one would expect in such a palatial setting. The suite is extensive and includes a private balcony overlooking the pool, a private living room with hi-speed Internet to keep you connected to the outside world and room service is always at hand to bring you a drink or a delicious meal.
Stunning marine life
The Andaman Sea is home to bottle-nose dolphins, whale sharks and giant manta rays and if you dive, you can immerse yourself in a different world. There are many dive schools where you can learn with a certified instructor, starting with a few pool dives then guided dives over reefs and you will pick it up in no time. You can snorkel at many great dive sites, where colourful fish are aplenty; you can hire a small boat and ask the skipper to take you to the best snorkelling locations.
Great water sports
If you have yet to try parasailing, this is one activity you will love; rent a powerful jet ski and take your partner to explore nearby islands and if you are into deep sea fishing, you have come to the right place. Marlin and sailfish live off the coast of Phuket and the boats have all the equipment and you can make a day of it! You could charter a yacht to explore the Andaman Sea, which is teeming with marine life.
Nightlife
If you are both into dancing the night away, Patong Beach has you covered, you can walk along the beach as the sun rises, then sleep in your luxurious suite until the late afternoon. There are several discos that run into the early morning hours and you will meet like-minded people who love to party the night away. There are a few expat-owned sports bars where you can watch your favourites, while there is a lively expat community on the island and they are very friendly.
Thai cuisine
Another compelling reason to holiday in the Land of Smiles is the delicious food; staying at a top hotel means you have the very best menu in town, plus there are many restaurants to check out, not to mention the tasty Thai desserts that are sold on every corner.
Thailand is the perfect place for a memorable honeymoon and Google can help you to source the best hotels that have amazing honeymoon suites; book early to avoid disappointment and get ready for a honeymoon like no other.
