Luxury Thailand Honeymoon: Culture, Wilderness & Island Escape

An indulgent journey through Thailand’s rich culture, lush landscapes, and laidback island luxury.

We designed this trip for couples who want a honeymoon that blends discovery, indulgence, and just the right amount of downtime. It’s a thoughtfully paced journey through Thailand’s highlights – packed with memorable experiences, but always with space to relax and enjoy the moment.

For us, this itinerary is all about balance and contrast: lively cities and peaceful countryside, cultural depth and barefoot luxury, incredible food and unforgettable landscapes. Each element has been chosen to feel special – with seamless transitions and plenty of little touches to elevate the experience.

Nia, our Thailand specialist, says:

“This is such a rewarding route for a honeymoon. You get to see so many sides of Thailand – from temple-hopping in Bangkok to slow mornings in the hills of the Golden Triangle, then on to Chiang Mai’s creative energy and finishing with a proper beach escape in Phuket. I’ve built in time to do the big sights, but also time to wander, unwind, and enjoy being together. It’s a trip that really celebrates the start of something new.”

The journey begins in Bangkok, where you’ll explore canals, street food stalls, and ornate temples with the help of a brilliant local guide. Your riverside hotel offers a calm place to retreat at the end of each day – ideal after weaving through markets or cruising through the old city by boat.

From here, you’ll fly north to the Golden Triangle – a remote region of forested hills and river views. Your lodge sits above the Mekong, and there’s plenty of time to slow the pace. Visit elephants in a well-run sanctuary, take a longtail boat into Laos, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting from your suite.

Next, it’s on to Chiang Mai – known for its deep-rooted culture and creative spirit. You’ll explore the Old Town, try your hand at Thai cooking, and visit mountaintop temples with sweeping views. We’ve also left some free time here – perfect for exploring hidden cafes, local workshops, or just wandering the backstreets together.

To finish, you’ll fly south to Phuket and check into a beachside resort where everything’s taken care of. Think lazy breakfasts, private island-hopping, sunset cocktails, and the kind of space where you can completely switch off. It’s a lovely reward after your journey – and the perfect way to round off your honeymoon.

This trip is ideal for couples who want more than just a beach break – it’s full of character, shaped by local insight, and designed to leave you with standout memories from your first adventure together.

January

January is one of the best months to visit Thailand, with dry, sunny days and cooler temperatures across most of the country. It's an ideal time for beach holidays in Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Lanta, where the sea is calm and crystal clear. In the north, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai offer crisp mornings and pleasant days, perfect for exploring temples and mountain landscapes. It’s also peak tourist season, so book in advance for popular spots.

February

February continues the dry season with reliably sunny weather and temperatures starting to climb. Beach conditions are still fantastic, especially on the Andaman coast. It’s also a great month for visiting Bangkok and central Thailand, where humidity remains relatively low. Festivals like Chiang Mai’s Flower Festival add extra colour to the month, and hiking in the north is still very comfortable.

March

March marks the start of the hot season, with rising temperatures across the country. It’s a good time for beachgoers who don’t mind the heat, particularly in places like Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lipe. Inland cities like Bangkok and Ayutthaya can feel sweltering in the afternoons, so plan sightseeing for early mornings. The north becomes drier and dustier, especially with the onset of the agricultural burning season.

April

April is the hottest month in Thailand, but it’s also one of the most fun thanks to Songkran, the Thai New Year. Celebrated with country-wide water fights, it's a joyful (and cooling) experience. While temperatures can reach well into the 30s°C, beach destinations on either coast offer some respite. Make sure to stay hydrated and take things slow, especially in cities.

May

May marks the beginning of the rainy season in most regions, although downpours tend to be short and sharp rather than constant. The humidity ramps up, particularly in central and northern Thailand. It’s a quieter time to travel, with fewer crowds and lush, green landscapes emerging. The Gulf islands—like Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Phangan—tend to see better weather than the Andaman coast.

June

June sees more regular rainfall, but it rarely disrupts travel plans too much. The countryside is vibrant, and waterfalls are at their best. While western beaches like Phuket may see more rain, the Gulf coast remains relatively dry, making it a great time for snorkelling and diving around Koh Tao. Expect lower prices and a more relaxed vibe almost everywhere.

July

July brings heavier rains to the north and Andaman coast, but travel is still very possible with a bit of flexibility. Rice paddies turn brilliant green, and misty mountains in the north offer atmospheric views. On the Gulf coast, beach days are still common. Cultural travellers may enjoy this quieter period for exploring temples, museums, and food tours.

August

August is in the heart of the monsoon season, but showers are usually short-lived and followed by sunshine. It’s a great time for nature lovers, as the landscape is lush and full of life. Inland travel can be trickier with occasional flooding, so coastal stays in Koh Samui or Koh Phangan are often the better bet. Festivals and markets continue to run, albeit with fewer tourists around.

September

September is typically the wettest month of the year, particularly in the north and on the Andaman coast. While it’s not the best time for sunbathing, it’s a brilliant opportunity to enjoy Thailand’s cultural side at a slower pace. Think cooking classes, spa days, and temple tours. Prices are at their lowest, and you'll often have attractions almost to yourself.

October

October marks the transition from rainy season to dry season, particularly towards the end of the month. While early October can still be wet, especially in the north, the skies begin to clear by mid-month. It’s a great time to visit Bangkok and central Thailand before the high season crowds arrive. Northern provinces like Chiang Mai begin their cooler season, making trekking and outdoor adventures more comfortable.

November

November is when Thailand really shines. The weather turns reliably dry and sunny across most of the country, especially the Andaman coast. Popular islands like Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Lanta come back to life. In the north, the cooler temperatures are ideal for hiking and exploring rural landscapes. Festivals like Loy Krathong add a magical touch with lantern-lit celebrations in Chiang Mai and Sukhothai.

December

December is peak travel season, thanks to the beautiful weather, festive atmosphere, and Christmas holidays. Beach resorts on both coasts are bustling, so early booking is essential. It’s also a great time to explore Bangkok’s markets and rooftop bars, or take to the hills of northern Thailand for trekking and nature. With low humidity and bright skies, it’s one of the best times to experience the country in full swing.

What can I say….my son and myself had the most wonderful time in Kenya thanks to the first-class itinerary that Ben and Louise put together for us. We spoke with Ben many times to ensure he ‘got it right’. This was our 2nd visit to Kenya, and it certainly lived up to our expectations and memories. Throughout our time in Kenya, we saw many lions, giraffes, elephants, ostriches, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards, to name just a few. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff; we cannot have been looked after any better. I would highly recommend Far and Wild; they are so knowledgeable and have personally visited the lodges and areas. We are already planning another visit, and we cannot wait. Since our return again Ben phoned to see how it went in addition to emails.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
