Tips

If you wish to extend the romance, add an extra night in Siem Reap to explore the quieter sunrise at Angkor Wat or take a day‑trip to Tonle Sap Lake. To shorten the trip, skip the Chiang Mai segment and spend the full week exploring southern Thailand’s islands (Phuket or Krabi), which also keeps costs low while offering beachside bliss.
