Three Worlds, One Seamless Honeymoon

Three Worlds, One Seamless Honeymoon

This itinerary is designed for couples who want contrast—ancient wonder, vibrant city energy, and a final chapter of pure ocean calm. Begin in Siem Reap for the temples of Angkor, continue to Thailand’s Golden Triangle and the river life of Bangkok, then end in the Malé Atoll at Gili Lankanfushi—a private-island escape encircled by reef-blue water.


Siem Reap — Angkor Sunrises, Hidden Jungle Temples, and Life on the Lake

Siem Reap — Angkor Sunrises, Hidden Jungle Temples, and Life on the Lake

Arrive in Siem Reap and settle into Zannier Phum Baitang, a Khmer-style retreat surrounded by rice paddies—your calm base before the early-morning temple magic begins. Spend the first day unwinding with spa time and an easy, romantic dinner—then at sunset, step aboard a traditional Kongkea boat to glide the waters around Angkor Thom.

The next morning is the reason you came: Angkor Wat at sunrise, when the stone silhouettes rise from the dark and the atmosphere feels almost unreal. With a private guide, continue deeper into the jungle to explore sculpted history at Bayon Temple, then slip into Ta Nei, a quieter temple draped in nature’s slow takeover.

On your final day in Cambodia, switch the tempo: mountain bike through villages and paddy fields, then head to Tonle Sap Lake for the floating village of Mechrey—kayaking between colorful raft-homes before lunch on a wooden veranda.

Chiang Rai — Golden Triangle Elephants and Lantern-Lit Jungle Nights

Chiang Rai — Golden Triangle Elephants and Lantern-Lit Jungle Nights

Fly onward to Thailand and land in Chiang Rai, then head north to Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, where bamboo jungle and mountain views set the tone for a completely different kind of romance. Your stay is in the Bamboo Tent, designed for privacy and atmosphere—perfect for slow mornings and early nights.

One of the journey’s most meaningful experiences happens here: walking side-by-side with elephants, guided by an expert who brings context and care to the encounter. Afterward, explore Chiang Rai’s striking spiritual architecture, including the “House of the Dancing Tiger” and Wat Huay Pla Kung, with its dramatic stairway flanked by dragons.


Bangkok — Night Markets, River Views, and a Private Longtail Through Thonburi

A short flight brings you into Bangkok, where you’ll check into Capella Bangkok, an urban sanctuary overlooking the Chao Phraya River. That evening, experience the city through a curated lens—illuminated temples, sizzling street-food moments, jazz bars, and hidden gardens that feel worlds away from the traffic.

Wake early for breakfast at Trok Mor market, then take to the water in your own longtail riverboat. Drift through the canals of Thonburi and past riverside villages—Bangkok’s quieter, more intimate side that most travelers never see.

Where to stay: Capella Bangkok


Malé Atoll — Gili Lankanfushi, Overwater Privacy, and Reef-Blue Days

Now for the exhale. Fly to The Maldives, then transfer by speedboat into the Malé Atoll for your final four nights at Gili Lankanfushi—a private island built around barefoot luxury and water-level romance.

Spend your days exactly how you want them: slow mornings in your overwater villa, snorkeling when the lagoon is glassy, and long afternoons that don’t require a plan. When you want something special, the island delivers—movies beneath the stars at the jungle cinema, and a signature spa moment at the glass-floored Meera Spa, where the ocean feels close even in stillness.
