Feeling a bit crazy with love? Consider your Valentine’s plans sorted with these 15 romantic destinations.

French philosopher Alain Badiou reckons love is always a bit of a gamble. It’s not just about swiping left or right on a dating app. Real love needs some risk. That’s probably why we say we “fall” in love. You never really know if it’s all going to work out. And what is a better romantic risk than going on a date?

Sometimes the best dates happen when you leave your comfort zone behind. So step outside, roam around Bangkok and let the city set the mood for something fun and unexpected.

Koktail has you covered with a list for tomorrow. These places are ideal for lovebirds to bask in sweet moments together and perhaps, actually “fall” in love for the first time (or all over again, if this ain’t your first rodeo).

1/15 Lumpini Park

This place is a classic. Your parents probably fell in love here. From pedalos to aerobic dancing, the park truly has it all. And if your date is a cat person, you’re in luck. There are plenty of adorable cats just vibing around, waiting for quick pets. Let them be your personal wingmen. (More of a dog person? The newly opened Dog Park also does the trick.)

2/15 Bangkok Planetarium

In the mood for a slightly nerdy date? How about exploring the history of the universe together? What could possibly be more romantic than watching the Big Bang explode on star-projection screens? Just you, your date and the vastness of it all. The animated moon can be just as pretty as the real one. Call it romantic lunacy.

3/15 The Corner House

The Corner House in Talad Noi is a cool little community spot that’s always putting on fun, artsy events. It’s located inside a restored old building that carries its own sense of history. Starting tomorrow, they’re hosting a Valentine’s card-making workshop and screening love-themed movies (think Before Sunrise and Jerry Maguire). Check out their page if you wanna join in on the fun.

4/15 Skyline Film Bangkok

Love is in the air, and the best way to enjoy it? Head to a rooftop, feel that open-air magic and let a cheesy rom-com set the scene. Sometimes life can imitate art and who knows, your night might be capped with a happy ending that makes you both laugh with tears of joy. Skyline Film Bangkok at River City Bangkok is running a screening series (Valentine’s-themed of course) from 12-15 February, so book your tickets now.

5/15 Pak Khlong Talat

First rule of romance: don’t show up empty-handed. Swing by Pak Khlong Talat, otherwise known as the Flower Market, pick up a bouquet (or two) and make that first impression count. Flowers, particularly red roses, are symbols of passion and commitment. Can’t find the right words? Let the flowers do the talking.

6/15 Dib Bangkok

Want to impress your date with your knowledge of the fine arts? Fresh on the scene, Dib Bangkok on Rama IV is the hottest contemporary art museum in town. It’s not just paintings, mind you. From trippy sculptures and hands-on installations, it’s all here. If you’ve been waiting to flex your art-talk, here’s your moment.

7/15 SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World

The Bee Gees once posed the question: how deep is your love? If you’re about to compare your love to the fathomless ocean, commit to the bit. SEA Life Bangkok Ocean World at Siam Paragon lets you stand in blue swirls of exotic fish and shy creatures hiding in coral reefs. Declare your love and let the underwater audience be your witness!

8/15 Mahanakhon Skywalk

Thai singer-songwriter Penguin Villa once likened one-sided love to acrophobia. (Acrophobia is the name of his number-one hit.) You’re scared of heights, yet here you are, falling headfirst, plunging into the terrifying depths of love. It’s the thrill of the drop that turns it into an exciting endeavour. The Mahanakhon Skywalk on Chong Nonsee, with its glass floor, lets you ponder the nature of love, minus the actual falling.

9/15 Taiban Café

To love is to create something together. It’s basically a creative act. With every moment shared, you shape and reshape it, much like an artist refining a canvas, with each stroke of colour adding something new every time. At Rama IV, Taiban Café’s outdoor area has easels standing ready for couples to explore their artistic spark together.

10/15 Song Wat Road

How about a walking date through one of Bangkok’s historic neighbourhoods? Even if you’re too young to have lived through those eras, the nostalgia still lingers. Old buildings whisper of bygone days, reminding you that while years move on, love keeps growing with each season’s passing. With cafés, galleries and restaurants along the way, there’s plenty to discover together.

11/15 TUBA

When the room glows low and a jazz chanteuse takes the mic, feelings get louder, especially over cocktails. TUBA, a stylish bar in Ekkamai, is currently collaborating with Thai singers, including The Voice Thailand alumni, to bring jazz romantic vibes right to your table. But first you’ve got to have a table! Check their page for reservation details.

12/15 With Love, We Feel at Siam Discovery

If you didn’t have a chance to catch the bulk of the Bangkok Design Week 2026 activities, With Love, We Feel is a group exhibition that is still around to celebrate love as a joyous force. You know, the kind that makes the world go round, as it were. Through playful pop visuals (for example, a wall of pink envelopes with cute postcards inside), love is explored from multiple angles, with contemporary artists bringing their own spin on what it really means.

13/15 PARADAi at Bangkok Art & Culture Centre

A BACC date already hits, but PARADAi takes it into sweet territory. Like roses, a box of chocolates is basically expected. So why not choose award-winning craft chocolates? It’s a thoughtful gesture that speaks volumes. Snack on rich cocoa together while taking in the exhibitions. According to Forrest Gump’s mother, life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. Romance, too, carries the same element of surprise.

14/15 Charoen Krung Road

Famously one of the filming locations for Wong Kar-wai’s romantic-drama epic In the Mood for Love (2000), Charoen Krung Road is bristling with longing and after-dark romance. If you’re both fans of the Hong Kong auteur, wandering these streets feels almost cinematic. It’s all about romantic encounters, love at close proximity and sudden feelings.

15/15 Used Book Stores at Chatuchak Market

Last but not least, this one is the author’s favourite. Tucked inside Chatuchak Market is a secondhand book haven that increasingly feels like an open secret thanks to its Instagram appeal. The vendors are knowledgeable and the shelves are packed with rare titles. A bit dusty, but that’s part of the vintage charm. It almost feels like treasure hunting. Few things start a conversation as easily as books. If your date prefers timeworn paperbacks to expensive watches, bring him/her/them here and watch the evening fly by.
