Just wondering what people think about the following destinations for a honeymoon:
1. Phuket
2. Krabi
3. Langkawi

Basically wanna stay for about 5 nights & looking to stay at a lovely resort/spa (something by the beach). We want to spend a lot of time relaxing by the beach or pool and some exploration of some sites.

Im looking for your suggestions and your thoughts.

Thanks

What a ridiculous last comment that was. Since when were prostitutes mandatory in Phuket??

Phuket has some amazing resorts that I would think are ideal for a honeymoon. Obviously it depends on your budget, but try looking at a couple of these

Amanpuri
The Chedi
Laguna (complex of 5 Five star resorts)

Coupled with some amazing restaurants and superb beaches, I would be happy to have a honeymoon in Phuket.

Congratulations on the marriage! Phuket is an excellent place. My wife and daughter both love the place. We enjoy spending time both on the beach and on various island trips. Rent a speed boat for the day and enjoy a trip to several islands off the coast of Phuket. You will have a wonderful time. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Busakorn Wing (really luxurious) in Patong Beach. Nai Harn beach (south of Patong beach) is probably the best beach on the island. Reply to this

Destination Spotlight at Krabi

Krabi is a nature-lovers playground. Less touristy and more traditional, Krabi promises gorgeous scenery, quaint Thai-style resorts and a wonderful array of outdoor activities.

Beaches - Krabi is lined with magnificent white sandy beaches (especially between November and April). Hire a moped or commandeer a long-tail boat for the day (around Baht 200 an hour - A$7.50) and find your own private beach.

Island Hopping - jump in a long-tail boat and choose your deserted island. There are 52 islands just off the coast of Krabi to discover, so take a picnic lunch and stay all day! Expect to pay around $30 - $50 per day for your driver and boat.

Rock- climbing - Krabi has the best rock-climbing in all of Thailand because of the same striking limestone cliffs that are prevalent on the islands dotting the sea. Over 450 routes have been identified and bolted by previous climbers, with many bearing names such as The King and I and Lord of the Thais. There is a range of beginners cliffs through to extremely difficult climbs.

Equipment (including insurance) and instructors can be hired from the many rock-climbing schools and some hotels in Krabi.

Diving, snorkelling, kayaking - take the opportunity to really see this part of Thailand at its best and view it underwater or on the water. This area (strictly speaking, the Similan Islands, which are about 30 mins boat ride from Krabi) have been named in the top 10 dive spots in the world. Even if you only snorkel, you will be amazed and delighted by the marine life - there are so many colourful fish. Kayaking is another great way to see the limestone formations and enjoy the aqua waters.

Visit Phi Phi Island - the striking set for the famous movie The Beach, has one of the most beautiful bays in all of Asia. Snorkelling and diving are very popular in this area and can be done off the shores of the island.

Travel time from Krabi is around 45 minutes in a speed boat or a local ferry can be taken for around 90 minutes.

Day tours can be booked from Krabi.
