With picturesque sandy beaches, golden temples, lush landscape, delicious cuisine, and decadent resorts, Thailand is one of Asia's most romantic destinations. Begin in Bangkok at the Peninsula Hotel, where you’ll travel by longtail boat along the Chao Phraya River and its canals. Visit the Temple of Dawn, the Grand Palace, and the magnificent Wat Phra Kaew, a glistening temple that houses the country’s most sacred religious image –- the Emerald Buddha. Also visit the Jim Thompson House, a beautiful Thai-style home that once belonged to silk industry legend Jim Thompson. Next, fly to Phuket for a three-night stay at the Amanpuri, Phuket’s most exclusive resort. Relax at the spa and enjoy the beautiful beach and fine food. A highlight of your stay will be the cruise aboard a luxury yacht to Phang Nga Bay. Next, fly to Chiang Rai, home to tribal groups that once migrated from southern China. Touring in the Golden Triangle includes local hilltribe villages, the ancient ruins at Chiang Saen, a boat trip on the Mae Kok River, and an elephant ride through rice paddies. Continue by road to the northern capital of Chiang Mai for three nights at the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, located in the peaceful valley of Mae Rim. Spend your days at leisure, taking walks through the rice fields, indulging in optional spa treatments, or lounging by the pool. Return to Bangkok and enjoy a night at the Sukhothai, a boutique property known for its architectural elegance.
