Chiang Mai is a popular tourist destination in Thailand as well as a great romantic getaway destination. Yet, it is surprisingly not too crowded and over-commercialised like Bangkok. I spent a lovely getaway vacation with my loved ones, my wife and daughter. We stayed for 5 days and I was left pining for more of Chiang Mai. I am planning a romantic getaway to Chiang Mai as soon as our daughter is old enough to be left behind.
We have been planning for a romantic getaway for a second honeymoon. It struck me that Chiang Mai is the perfect place for a romantic honeymoon getaway. Away from the usual touristy stuff like the night market, the elephant training camps and hill tribe tours, there is a quiet and romantic side to Chiang Mai.
The Perfect Place for A Romantic Honeymoon
Chiang Mai is clean and green. It is a nice blend of old and new. There are many modern building but few are higher than 5 storeys. The remains of the ancient city are still visible throughout the city. Although there is the usual rustle and bustle of a busy city, there is an inner calm everywhere. Perhaps, it is the presence of the numerous temples. Whatever it is, it is conducive for romance.
You can spend the day exploring the old city, then freshen up for a night out of great food and chic watering holes. End the day with a full body massage that should get you and your spouse in the mood for love. Just what you would want on a romantic getaway vacation.
Where To Stay In Chiang Mai
There are many good hotels in Chiang Mai. If you are travelling in a big group, you can consider staying at the beautiful Kantary Hills hotel and serviced apartment. The 2 bedroom suites are luxuriously furnished. From Kantary Hill, you can book day trips to explore the many interesting places in the city and the outskirt. There are plenty to see and do in the outskirt of Chiang Mai. You can visit the many temples, hill tribes, elephant training camps and farms. In the evening, you can shop at the night bazaar. Dining and shopping in the city is fantastic and cheap. There are many pubs and watering holes to rest and relax as well. Or unwind with a relaxing Thai massage.
Kantary Hill is a great place to stay during your romantic getaway vacation because it is convenient and has many facilities. It is located in the heart of Chiang Mai’s most chic district with easy access to the shopping and entertainment areas. The rates are affordable too. We stayed in a 2-bedroom suite for 5 days at a bargain price inclusive of airport transfer and breakfast. Totally enjoyed the stay. Visit the website below for more info.
