Sleep on the Chao Phraya at Capella, Mandarin Oriental, or [The Siam](/resort-living/the-siam). Book a private longtail canal tour and one riverfront tasting dinner.

Take four nights in Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai. [Four Seasons Chiang Mai](/resort-living/four-seasons-chiang-mai) in Mae Rim is the valley pool. A riverside boutique in town works if you want dinner without a long car. Book a Lanna herbal spa at Fah Lanna or Oasis Spa.
