landrews33 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 We're planning a short honeymoon next week. We've been to Pating Beach and Pattaya in the past and didn't like the scene. (Her, the bare chested men and the bikinis; me, the general bad behavior of farangs.) If you were to plan a romantic time away without drunken Russians and blatant prostitutes where would you go?

asanee Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thai people do not do that. Its just a western mind idea. So your chocie is limited to upscale resorts midweek=not sat/sun. Additional: IF Thai people do that, its with the mia noi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 ko samet is still pretty nice. I haven't made it down to Koh Chang but I still hear good recommendations for it. Not as developed as pattaya. I thought Karon beach on Phuket was great. Easy to walk around. Beach was good for swimming. Lots and lots of restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roota Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thai people do not do that. Its just a western mind idea. Nonsense, of course they do. Or at least many of my friends do, and I can't imagine that they are untypical. Though you're right, it's more likely to be with the mia noi (or a new wife) than with a long-married mia luang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Mrs NL and I took a 4-night, 5-day, fly-and-drive 'second honeymoon' around Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai just before Chinese new Year. The blighters should have buggered off by now so should be reasonably nice if maybe a tad foggy and smoggy so don't leave it too much later. It was very romantic in the hill resorts, less so in the cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docno Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 A lot of Thais seem to prefer lakeside or hilltop resorts. I can understand it. Less crowded, less hot (in the hills at least), and fewer drunken yobs to ruin your day. There are some nice ones in the Kanchanaburi and Petchabun areas, for example.

mick01827 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I've been to a lovely hotel in hua hin called sawan boutique resort, in the hills about 10 minutes from the main town, lovely and quiet and a very beautiful hotel, worth a look if your interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autryme Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hua Hin if you have not been before. Chiang Khan, if you are looking for something out there. All the yuppie Thais get up there. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmuang37 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The Rayong Resort is secluded, elegant and quiet which may be good for a honeymoon. Was there for 2 days a couple of months ago. No Russians and only one small tour group. Secure parking. Nice pool. Can get a boat to Koh Samet for a day trip. But if you want dancing and partying, it would be too quiet for you. Also, not the place if you are on a budget. I think we paid about 4,000 per night which included two breakfasts. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis7 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 OP Walking street and pattaya beach road isnt all about Pattaya, there are beautiful resorts with private beach which is excellent choice for any couple.

landrews33 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks everybody. I loved all the comments including the humorous ones. I'll google all of them except France and check them out! I don't think of Thais as being romantic in the same was as in the US, but if you see the TV advertising, romance seems to be right up there with skin whitening, so some must have it on their minds! When I hear Thais talk about going away with some one it seems to usually involve hot springs, water falls or bungalows at a lake. So your suggestions seem right on.
