Ahead, we’ll share everything you need to know about planning a honeymoon in Thailand. From when to go to where to stay, here’s how to organize your trip to make your trip unforgettable.
What time of year to travel to Thailand
If you want to fly away after a winter wedding, Thailand is one of the best places to enjoy the warm and pleasant weather. The ideal time to visit is January, February or March – a period that is neither during the country’s monsoon season nor during the hot summer months. But be prepared for humidity and temperatures as high as 80 degrees. December is also a great time to visit, but be aware that some areas, such as Koh Samui, can still see significant rainfall earlier in the month.
How to get around Thailand
Flying is the best option for traveling between major destinations in Thailand. There are some domestic airlines that make this easy, but don’t wait to book a ticket; flights fill up quickly. While most travel is relatively cheap, since Samui Airport is operated exclusively by Bangkok Airways, any flights in and out of Samui will be more expensive.
Within your destination, you can rely on Grab, the area’s preferred ride-sharing and delivery app, to pick up your car. You can even order a tuk-tuk through the app!
