Romantic Date Ideas in Bangkok
Bangkok, once dubbed Venice of the East, is a bustling modern day city while having kept its original culture. It’s this mix of old and new that makes it such an interesting place, but where do you escape the traffic and polution for a date or romantic night out? Sometimes you just have to get out of the business centers and off the beaten path.
Chao Praya River Cruise
The Chao Praya river is Bangkok’s main waterway. This huge river makes it way along famous spots such as Kao San road, China Town and separates the city of Bangkok from Thonburi. The Chao Praya river cruise is an all time favorite for visitors to Bangkok and for good reason. The river banks of Chao Praya are amazing to look at. You have temples arching their ‘stupas’ towards the sky. There are modern 5-star hotels, including the famous Oriental Hotel, but also traditional houses right on the edge of the water. It’s a fantastic experience. For those on a low budget, it’s possible to just go on one of the river ferries, but it’s hardly romantic or secluded. That’s why the river cruise is the best choice. The cruise takes place on a big yacht, with restaurant, live music and entertainment, while you can relax and watch as you leisurely make your way up and down the river.
Vertigo Sky Bar
The sky bar in the Banyan hotel called Vertigo or Moon Bar, make for an unforgettable evening watching the impressive skyline of Bangkok. Indulge in expensive champagne and cocktails, have the top seafood dinner or just sit back and relax to the tunes of the inhouse Jazz band. Vertigo bar offers something unique and some amazing views. Located 61 floors above ground level, Vertigo bar is a popular hangout for the rich and famous as well. Despite being quite expensive, it’s worth going for a night.
