Relax and Rejuvenate
With so many different spas emerging in Bangkok, try a different way of relaxing with the hot waters from an onsen.

Dine on a Sailing Ship
Dining in a restaurant is too ordinary for a special day like this. Instead, we invite you to enjoy a meal on a ship!
Sirimahannop
Celebrate Mother’s Day with a dining experience on Sirimahannop, an exquisite replica of an 18th-century Royal Thai navy ship, moored on the Chao Phraya River at Asiatique. The menu offers a selection of Thai and international favourites. Start with a signature cocktail on deck, then tuck into house-cured dill salmon with avocado-pomelo salad and tom yum crackers. Main dishes include braised beef cheek in red wine gravy or spicy eggplant curry Gulf of Thailand-style. You can also indulge in a pot of steamed Dutch mussels or end with a generous slice of cheesecake.
Asiatique

Making Merit at Ayutthaya
For a mom who loves to make merit, Ayutthaya is the perfect place to take her. Here are three recommendations that would make for a lovely Mother’s Day outing:
Wat Mahathat
Famous for its Buddha head entwined in tree roots, this temple is a must-see for its historical and aesthetic vibes. It’s one of Ayutthaya’s top ruins.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet
The largest and most important temple in the ancient city. The three big chedis (stupas) are a highlight, adding a rich cultural backdrop to your visit.
Wat Chaiwatthanaram
Along the river, this temple is known for its Khmer-style architecture and serene surroundings. It’s a great place for a peaceful stroll and to enjoy some beautiful views.
Workshops

Enjoy the added perks of a free beverage and waffle with your activity. On Mother’s Day, they’re offering special deals, making it a great way to celebrate together.
