Ideas to enjoy your honeymoon in Bangkok:

1. Hang out and shop on Khao San Road, the backpacker’s Mecca. You can literally buy everything you need for your trip here if you are adventurous enough to show up to Thailand with only your wallet. Before you leave the country make sure to return to Khao San Road to grab inexpensive gifts, such as backpacks, sandals, bathing suits, t-shirts, sarongs, jewelry, sunglasses, art, home furnishings, knicknacks, etc. It is a party there nearly 24/7 so we always go for a meal when we arrive, even if it is late at night. There’s great people-watching there, too!
2. Visit Wat Po and the Grand Palace.
3. Have a Thai massage. There are numerous high end parlors and luxurious spas.
4. Shopping and Markets
   1. Chatuchak Weekend Market – a truly astounding market that goes on forever with food, clothes, animals, anything you can imagine – an amazing place!
   2. The malls – both flashy modern ones and the older Thai ones (like the MBK, which I love to wander, it has thousands of stalls)
   3. Local markets – other than Khao San Road, which is a must, there are endless markets to explore, see link above.
   4. The flower market, which is great to visit in the middle of the night when they are setting up.
   5. Floating markets, where you can buy meals from little boats and see people selling all kinds of things – this is easiest done with a tour package
5. Ride on the boats – take a water bus ride up the huge river that snakes through the city (you will see the gorgeous Wat Arun on the west side of the river and can stop for a visit there) – also, take one of the little water taxis that ride up the tributaries into downtown from Banglampu, this is a cool way to see the city.
6. Take a Thai cooking class. We recommend this half day class in the city. and this full day class in the country.
7. Visit historic sites, such as the Royal Barge Museum, the Vimanmek Mansion or Jim Thompson’s House.
8. Visit a tailor to have a suit etc handmade for you by the skilled shops of Bangkok.
9. It is always eye opening to see a city from above and get a whole new perspective on what it looks like, so go to dinner or out for drinks at one of the posh rooftop bars: Nest at Le Fenix, Long Table, Skybar and Distil at Lebua State Tower, Moonbar in the Banyan Tree Hotel, Three Sixty at the Millennium Hilton, etc.
10. If you aren’t opposed, I suggest a Thai kickboxing match. They are violent but it is a true Thai experience with amazing people watching and few tourists go.
11. Take day trips, such as Ayutthaya or go to Khao Yai National Park and Elephant rides
12. There are many tours, sightseeing, airport transfers and other services we recommend here.

Accommodation: I only suggest booking a room with en suite bath and AC otherwise you could end up unhappy on your honeymoon. The best options for where to book your room on your honeymoon in Bangkok are:

1. Banglamphu – this is the best area to stay in Bangkok in my opinion. It is the historic part of town and has a slower, more authentic feel than the city. it is near the river and there are quaint little pockets of old Thai life with a more neighborhood-y feel as well as being near the backpackers Mecca of Khao San and near the Grand Palace and Wat Po. Try to be near Khao San Road but DO NOT stay ON Khao San – it is much too loud and is definitely not a place for a romantic night’s sleep.
2. Riverside - there are high end resorts along the river. These are cool because you can use the river boat stops to get around.
3. Downtown – there are endless choices of big hotels in the city business district. Here you can get around by Skytrain but it is not nice or easy to walk around the congested city.
