Chiang Mai
Nestled in the mountainous north of Thailand and surrounded by lush countryside, the former seat of the Lanna Kingdom is perhaps best known for its 14th to 17th-century temples, including the former royal temple Wat Chedi Luang and mountaintop Wat Doi Suthep. Although its wonderfully preserved historic centre is now surrounded by a sprawling modern city — in Thai the name Chiang Mai literally translates as “new city” — visitors will find plenty of time to relax in this peaceful northern metropolis, whether it is visiting one of its many temples at dawn, hiking to a nearby waterfall or enjoying a rejuvenating Thai massage.
Family-friendly Thailand
An essential guide to family travel in Thailand
Thailand has been working hard in recent years to shed its reputation as a backpacker party hub, and reinventing itself for families and more discerning travellers. You’re probably familiar with the country’s main tourism hotspots; Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and the more famous islands.

When it comes to honeymoons, Thailand has it all. Everything from beautiful beaches, to magnificent mountains home to remote tribes and ethical elephant sanctuaries, to bonkers Bangkok with all its vibrant facets. And as if this wasn’t enough, we’ve uncovered exquisite hotels that make perfect honeymoon retreats.
We’ve carefully woven an exciting honeymoon starting in Bangkok, where the two of you will get out on foot and by boat to explore the city streets. After a couple of days taking in the sites, sounds and tastes of the City of Angels, you’ll journey north to the lush landscapes of Chiang Mai to hang out with elephants and explore the countryside by bicycle. By this time, the beach will be beckoning and you’ll jet southwards toward Phuket, transferring by speedboat to the far-flung island of Koh Racha.
