The Top Romantic Spots to Propose in Bangkok

From its five glistening towers to the sheer size of it, Wat Arun has long been one of the most memorable sights in the city. Luckily for couples, there are plenty of dining options across the Chao Phraya River from the temple equipped with spectacular views of this grand spectacle. One of the most romantic and atmospheric dining options of them all is Amorosa Bar, located on the top floor of The Deck by Arun Residence. With an extensive menu of cocktails, this snack and drink lounge is the perfect place to say “I do.” Afterwards, couples can enjoy a celebratory drink overlooking both the temple and river.

Standing at almost 200 feet tall, with 42 gondolas to choose from, the glittering Ferris wheel at Asiatique the Riverfront is a sight to behold. The Ferris wheel is an iconic landmark after dark, and the illuminated attraction can be seen from around the city as soon as the sun begins to set. Overlooking the Chao Phraya River, proposing from one of the gondolas as the Ferris wheel loops its repetitive, slow track would be one of the most romantic ways to do so in the city. A normal adult ticket to ride is ฿300, but hopeful grooms and brides-to-be might instead opt for a private (฿1,000 per two people) or VIP (฿1,500-2,000 for 2-5 people) gondola instead.

Head somewhere a bit more secluded and escape the busyness that is Bangkok at Lumpini Park. This green space covers a sprawling 140 acres of land, and there are plenty of quiet nooks and secluded spaces to cozy up and get some alone time before popping the question. Couples feeling incredibly cheesy might instead opt for renting one of the swan paddle boats on the artificial lake found in the middle of Lumpini. The park is actually named after an enchanted garden in Nepal where Buddha was born, and will hopefully make any proposals taking place here just as magical.

In addition to having some of the most sublime curries in town, Smooth Curry also serves up a romantic and noteworthy dining experience. The restaurant is located on the third level of the Plaza Athénée Bangkok, A Royal Méridien Hotel, and it is impeccably decorated, equipped with spread-out seating providing diners with privacy even during a dinner rush. The dimly lit dining area certainly sets the mood for a dreamy evening while diners enjoy a good helping of traditional Thai cuisine.

What better way to pull off a sweet proposal than by proposing in one of the sweetest places in the city? Chocolate Ville is simply enchanting, equipped with a lighted gazebo, pastel-colored buildings and miniature windmills, and romantic lakeside dining. Despite its name, the small city is not overflowing with chocolate. Instead, it is bursting with charm and delicious Thai and Western cuisine, making it one noteworthy place to propose.
