Thailand for two
An ideal honeymoon
15 days / 14 nights
The brief was simple yet challenging. “Create for us an oriental dream. We want to lounge, laze, dance, dive, drive an elephant, trek and breakfast in bed!”. This one in a lifetime journey took our friends on the Eastern Orient Express to the north where they enjoyed the best of Chiang Mai in style. We took them trekking around Mae Taeng, and on to the Golden Triangle where they became honorary mahouts. We took them diving around Koh Phi Phi and they enjoyed sundowners on Thailand’s picture perfect beaches of the Andaman overlooking the perfect sunset. All before dancing the night away in Bangkok…

We have reserved a beautiful room for you in an intimate hotel in the old center of Chiang Mai where rooms are laid out over a series of courtyards, framed by carefully trimmed frangipani trees and flowing bougainvillea. The hotel was designed by its owner, a prominent Thai Architect, and is based on Thai temples of the 13th and 14th centuries, the height of the Chinese-influenced culture of northern Thailand.
In Chiang Mai there is plenty to do. Explore the ancient and modern city of Chiang Mai, including its old city walls, gates and city moat, markets, residential areas, Tapae, Chiang Mais main street.

Day 4 is at your leisure. Explore the hills around Chiang Mai or visit some of the impressive temples the city has to offer, we like Wat Umong (or Oomong). The most unique feature of the temple are the intricate tunnels which give the Wat its name (Umong is the Thai word for "tunnel").
