Romantic Escape To Chiang Mai

Start your romantic adventure by waking early to watch the sunrise over Chiang Mai from Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, the city’s most sacred temple. Perched on a mountain, this golden sanctuary offers panoramic views of the city below. Arriving early means you’ll experience the temple in peaceful solitude, just as the first rays of sunlight illuminate the golden spires, creating a moment of pure magic.

Exploring the Old City Hand-in-Hand

Wandering through Chiang Mai’s Old City feels like stepping back in time. The charming streets are lined with ancient temples, teakwood houses, and vibrant markets. Spend a leisurely morning hand-in-hand, exploring hidden alleyways, visiting Wat Chedi Luang or Wat Phra Singh, and stopping at quaint cafés for a refreshing iced coffee or fresh coconut.

If you love history, visit the Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Centre to learn about the city’s fascinating Lanna heritage.

A Romantic Elephant Encounter

For couples who love nature and wildlife, visiting the Elephant Nature Park or Elephant Jungle Sanctuary is a heartwarming experience. Spend the day feeding, bathing, and learning about these gentle giants in an ethical and eco-friendly environment. Sharing this experience will leave you with cherished memories and a deeper appreciation for Thailand’s majestic elephants.

Love in the Mountains

Escape the city and head to Mon Jam, a mountaintop village about an hour’s drive from Chiang Mai. The cool mountain air, endless rolling hills, and stunning flower gardens provide a dreamy setting for a romantic picnic. Many restaurants in the area offer traditional bamboo picnic huts where you can enjoy fresh local cuisine while gazing out over the misty valleys below.

Sunset Drinks at a Rooftop Bar

As the golden hour sets in, head to one of Chiang Mai’s best rooftop bars for sunset cocktails. The elevated vantage points offer panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains—an utterly romantic setting to sip wine and toast to your love.

Woods Bar and Myst Rooftop Bar are excellent choices for an intimate and elegant atmosphere. If you prefer something more relaxed and artsy, THC Rooftop Bar offers a laid-back bohemian vibe.

A Candlelit Dinner for Two

Chiang Mai has exceptional dining experiences, perfect for a romantic evening. Whether you’re craving traditional Thai cuisine, fine dining, or an intimate riverside meal, the city has something special for every couple.

For an authentic northern Thai experience, try Khao Soi Nimman or Ginger & Kafe, where charming décor meets exquisite flavours. For a more upscale experience, David’s Kitchen is a beloved fine dining spot with impeccable service and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a private, candlelit setting, book a table at The Service 1921 at the Anantara Chiang Mai or The Gallery by the river. Both offer an intimate and luxurious setting for an unforgettable evening.

A Private Spa Retreat for Two

Nothing says romance like a luxurious couples’ spa experience. Chiang Mai is famous for its world-class wellness retreats, from traditional Thai massages to holistic healing treatments.

For a truly special experience, Aleenta Retreat Chiang Mai’s Spa & Wellness Centre provides signature treatments in a serene setting. Indulge in a private aromatherapy massage and a detoxifying herbal bath—a perfect way to relax and unwind together.

A Slow Stroll Through the Night Markets

End your evening with a stroll through Chiang Mai’s night markets. The Sunday Walking Street Market and Chiang Mai Night Bazaar are brimming with handcrafted jewellery, textiles, and local art—perfect for picking up a unique memento of your trip.

For a romantic touch, buy each other a small gift from the local artisans, a little keepsake to remember your magical escape to Chiang Mai.
