If you’re looking for a few ideas for a first date in Bangkok then this article is offering you not just one, but ten ways to do so.

We’ve included something for everyone. From a visit to the popular night markets to sitting high above the city skyline while you feast on a range of delectable Thai foods, you can be sure to impress your date with these suggestions.

Bangkok is an exciting city that gives you plenty of places to explore. You can choose to be surrounded by hundreds of people or choose the solitude of a temple – the choice is yours.

1. Experience Saphan Toksin Pier

Bangkok is often called the “Venice of the East,” namely due to the existence of the Chao Phraya River and its snaking canals and hidden alleyways that just beg for a date. You can cruise the waters of Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River leaving from this popular pier.

You can charter a private boat, and ask your driver to take you to some of his favorite destinations along the river, or you can join a public cruise with other tourists.

The Saphan Toksin Pier is also a magnificent night hotspot. It’s a perfect setting for a romantic evening date. Couples can often be seen, strolling hand in hand, after a sumptuous dinner at one of the nearby hotels. 

2. Grab a Bargain at Suan Lum Night Bazaar

You may not think of nighttime markets as being romantic setting for a first date, but hear us out for a moment. If you and your date like a casual atmosphere that is fun, friendly and exciting to watch then these markets are a sure bet to keep you entertained for a night out.

You can start by treating your lady to a nice casual dinner from one of the many street stands, and then enter the hustle and bustle of the bazaar, ready to bargain for a few souvenirs.

3. Visit the Movies at Siam Paragon Cineplex

Visiting the movies in Siam Square takes on a new level of fun if you’re lucky enough to be able to book one of these groovy booths. You and your date get to lounge on your own private reclining sofa, inclusive of wait staff, blankets, pillows and food service.

You can order drinks and food and enjoy a movie with a difference. It is needless to say that these theatres are reasonably priced too.

4. Get Spoiled at a Day Spa

Bangkok is home to many 5-star hotels with their own day spas, as well as standalone massage salons where you can relax and be pampered.

Thai massages are simply delightful. You can opt to book a couples massage where both of you get a massage on neighboring tables, but at the same time.

Getting a massage on your first date is simply a different way to spending time together. You’re in a relaxed environment and are more inclined to open up for an honest, unguarded conversation.

5. Feast High Above the City

As one of Bangkok’s most prestige and revered dining choices, Sirocco is situated on top of the city, on the 63^rd floor of the The Dome at Lebua.

This is the place to be if you want to impress your date with a stylish setting, delicious food and attentive wait staff. The views are of course to die for.

6. Take A Walk on Pattaya Beach

Pattaya Beach Resort is one of Thailand’s most loved and visited destinations throughout the year. You can reach Pattaya by public bus from Bangkok (a bus departs every 30 minutes except at night) and the two-hour drive is comfortable and fully airconditioned.

Alternatively you can rent your own car or fly directly from International Airport (Suvarnabhumi). Pattaya Beach is popular with Thais on the weekend and public holidays. They flock here in the thousands, so choose your time of arrival away from the busy times if you prefer privacy and quiet.

You can rent your own limousine from the airport and get driven in style to and from the beach for a romantic night out. Expect to pay a couple of hundred dollars for the privilege though.

7. Enjoy Live Entertainment

Many of the street-level Bangkok restaurants have live music you can enjoy over drinks or dinner. You can pop in for dessert or cocktails and let someone else do the entertaining of your date for you.

8. Visit a Ladyboys Cabaret Show

A visit to Thailand is not complete unless you spend an evening with laughter at one of the famous ladyboys (katoeys) cabaret shows in the city. These shows are usually filled to the brim during the high season with locals and tourists alike.

You get to see dance, song and story in the one show. It makes for a great night out with your date or with friends.

9. Stand in Awe at the Grand Palace Complex

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of Bangkok’s, and Thailand’s, most historical prides. There is no denying the beauty of this religious place and seeing how much the local culture is rooted in the Buddhist religion.

Remember to take off your shoes when you enter the temple and to cover your legs in respect to the local customs.

10. Dine out in Style on a Dinner Cruise

Most of the luxury hotels in Bangkok have connections to regular dinner cruise lines that pick you up for an evening on the water. You get to eat some of the best local fare while being able to gaze deeply into the eyes of your date.
