Arrive Chiang Mai (likely early morning after overnight departure). Check into a riverside boutique hotel in the Old City for privacy and scenic rooms; rest and freshen up.
Stroll the Old City to see classic Lanna temples and relaxed streets; temples are open early to late afternoon and are great for easy cultural sightseeing without rushing.
Eat at a well‑rated spot serving both Thai and good vegetarian Indian options (e.g. family‑run Indian or riverside Thai with paneer/veg choices). Good way to sample Thai flavours while sticking to familiar tastes.
Evening market stroll for souvenirs, street snacks and a low‑key first night out; markets are open from ~6pm–10:30pm and are welcoming yet not party‑style.
Choose a clean, highly rated restaurant that offers veg and non‑veg dishes; riverside spots offer romantic ambiance while Indian restaurants are plentiful if you prefer familiar cuisine.
Take a 1‑hour flight to Chiang Rai to maximise time visiting key sights with minimal road fatigue; private transfer is 3.5–4 hours each way (more tiring).
Explore the famous White Temple — photogenic, surreal modern Buddhist art; open ~8:00–17:00 and well worth the visit for unique architecture and photos.
See the striking Blue Temple’s vivid murals and the contrasting Baan Dam art complex — both are close by and provide different artistic takes on northern Thai culture.
Back in Chiang Mai opt for a relaxed dinner at a boutique riverside restaurant with good vegetarian options—low key, perfect after a day of sightseeing.
Visit an ethical, no‑ride sanctuary where you observe and feed rescued elephants in a natural setting; pre‑book a morning half‑day programme (pickup included). Sanctuary hours typically start ~8:30–9:00.
Arrange a private riverside or rooftop candlelit dinner with a small cake and flowers through your hotel—romantic, intimate and memorable for her special day.
Take a comfortable speedboat day tour to Phi Phi islands for snorkeling, Maya Bay viewpoints, and clear water; boats usually depart early (~7:00–8:30) and return late afternoon.
Short transfer by longtail boat to Railay for its famous beaches and Phra Nang Cave — pleasant, scenic and ideal for sunset photos; boats run frequently from Ao Nang.
Take a scenic ferry/boat transfer to Koh Lanta (approx 1.5–2.5 hours depending on route). Koh Lanta is quieter and ideal for private beaches and relaxed couple time.
Check into a private beachfront bungalow or boutique resort and spend the afternoon on the sand—perfect for honeymoon tranquillity and Instagrammable sunsets.
Early transfer from Koh Lanta to Krabi airport (via ferry + car) to connect flight to Bengaluru; allow ample time for connections, check‑in and immigration.
Fly back to Bengaluru; flights usually connect through Bangkok—arrive into BLR later in the day. Keep documents and pre‑book transfers on arrival in BLR.
