Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Don't let the excitement of the big day wear off, and head to the airport this afternoon, where you can check in for your direct 11 and a half hour flight to Bangkok. A number of airlines fly to Bangkok and we can suggest which will suit your timings and preferences best. As a little honeymoon treat, upgrade yourselves to fly business class.

Rise bright and early today and meet your transfer driver in reception. You'll be taken to the airport to catch the short hour and 20 minute flight to Chiang Mai and then will be collected at the other end by another of our drivers. Once back on solid ground you'll be driven to your hotel - we work with a number of luxurious options either in the centre or on the outskirts, and can help you choose which suits you best.

After a little time to settle in, this afternoon a guide will meet you at your hotel for a walking tour of the old city. During the tour you'll visit the markets to get a taste for local life and also see the major landmarks, including Wat Chiang Man, Chiang Mai's oldest temple. The tour will then finish at the Chiang Mai Women's Correctional Institute where former female prisoners run a traditional Thai spa, and you can enjoy a foot massage.

After the tour, ask your concierge to recommend one of the many great restaurants in Chiang Mai for dinner.

After a few days in lovely Chiang Mai, head further north to Chiang Rai this morning. Rather than the usual road transfer you will be travelling in the lap of luxury, via helicopter. As you fly over the lush landscape of Northern Thailand, take in the views and enjoy the novelty of being in the helicopter before arriving at your new hotel, the Four Seasons Tented Camp. Set at the edge of Chiang Rai in a beautiful and rural area, the camp is a real haven and the perfect place to experience what life in the Thai countryside is like. This afternoon you'll have the chance to explore, settle in and take a dip in the pool before meeting one of the camp guides for a foraging walk, during which you'll learn about the local flora at camp and what it can be used for. Dinner is then served at camp and you can even choose your own wine from the well-stocked wine cellar.

You've had your fill of city life and a good slice of nature and culture, but now it's time for some much deserved R&R on the beach. Since it's your honeymoon, take advantage of the occasion and treat yourself to five nights at what we think is probably Thailand's most luxurious beach resort, the magical Soneva Kiri on Koh Kood Island. To get there you'll be driven to Chiang Rai airport for a flight to Bangkok, which will take just over an hour. Once landed in Bangkok a representative from Soneva Kiri will meet you to escort you to the hotel's private plane, which will fly you directly to the resort in around an hour.

After checking in and getting your bearings at this beautiful island resort, spend your first night in style by eating your dinner quite literally in the treetops. One of Soneva Kiri's most unique and signature experiences, the treetop dining experience involves being hoisted into the canopy in a comfortable bamboo pod, where you will then be served a gourmet meal by a waiter on a zip-line. With fantastic views of the sea and the novelty of being waited on via a zip-line this is sure to be a meal you won't forget.

Since Koh Kood is located just up the coast from Cambodia it's remarkably easy to hop into the country for a day trip, and we can arrange it all for you, to ensure border crossings and transfers are as smooth as can be. Take Soneva Kiri's private helicopter directly from the resort and make the short flight to Trat where you'll clear the Thai customs, then hop back on the helicopter to fly 50 minutes over to Siem Reap, where you can disembark and clear Cambodian customs.

Once on the ground in Siem Reap you'll be driven, with your guide, to the stunning temples of the Angkor complex and then have the day to explore them. With your guide on hand to bring the ancient cities to life you'll get a real sense for the size and scale of these Khmer temples and cities, and should learn a lot about what life for the people living here in the 12th century was actually like. Make sure you have cameras at the ready to snap some photos of the iconic Angkor Wat too.

When you've done your fill of exploring, head back to the airport with your guide to meet the helicopter and repeat the same journey as on the way, arriving back at Soneva Kiri in time for dinner.

They say time flies when you're having fun and with all the fun you've packed in over the last two and a half weeks, we're sure you're not quite ready to go home yet. On that note, it might be your last day but there is still plenty of fun to be had. Start after breakfast by joining your guide on the Koh Kood discovery experience, which will see you exploring the island to see what it's like for the locals away from the resort. You'll visit Ao Salad fishing village, canoe through the mangrove forests and can even take a dip in the Klong Chao waterfall's lagoon.

Be back at the resort in time for a special romantic lunch in the crystal clear, shallow waters off the beach. With stunning views and delicious fresh food this is a great setting to sit and reflect on what a beautiful spot you've found yourselves in, and what a great honeymoon it's been.

There should then be a few hours for you to soak in the last of the sun's rays before dinner and the final special experience of the trip, a private stargazing experience. Visit the resort's private observatory where one of the resident astronomers will help you identify the stars and constellations before leaving you to gaze up at the twinkling sky together.

Sadly the time has come to head home. Make sure you savour that last holiday breakfast in the sun and then finish packing before you begin the journey.

You'll first be transferred an hour to Bangkok airport by Soneva's private plane. Once there, check in for your direct business class flight back to London which should take around 13 hours.
