Valentine’s Day has been celebrated for centuries in western countries, but in places like Thailand it is a relatively new holiday with growing celebrations every year. Couples all around Bangkok are taking up the holiday as a way to celebrate their love, and many friends and family members also celebrate by exchanging valentines and small gifts. There’s no better place to celebrate this holiday with your sweetheart — or even just to pamper yourself — than the hip and trendy Thong Lo neighborhood. Here are our recommendations:
To start, browse one of the many unique boutiques along Sukhumvit Soi 55 for a special gift. The options are endless — upscale Thai designers, artisan food and drink, or a gift card to a boutique gym or spa are a few ideas. Thong Lo has adopted the “community mall” concept rather than large shopping malls which dominate other districts in the city. Take time before the holiday to browse for the perfect gift, or even bring your Valentine along to choose exactly what they want.
Your Valentine won’t be disappointed with a night out in Thong Lo for dinner and drinks. Make a reservation to secure your spot on this popular evening — we recommend The Gardens for an extra special evening, with the gorgeous natural garden setting. There are also more casual dining options for a lunch date, like Audrey Cafe and Bistro. And those on a budget or with simpler tastes can take a seat at a casual street vendor for a quick bite to eat!
If you are staying with us at Centre Point’s serviced apartments in Thong Lo, you could cook a romantic dinner or just share a few drinks with our gorgeous city views.
We hope this Valentine’s Day is a special one for you and your loved one, and an opportunity to spend time together and enjoy what Bangkok has to offer. Happy Valentine’s Day!!
