Thai Mother’s Day ideas 2022
With Thai mother’s day (or Wan Mae) around the corner, families up and down Thailand will be looking for things to do to celebrate this important day. As a reminder, Thai mother’s day is celebrated on August 12th, and this year’s date falls on a Friday. It’s also Her Majesty Queen Sirikit’s birthday on this date, which makes the occasion even more important for the Kingdom.
So with the long weekend ahead, it’s time to make some amazing plans to celebrate with your mum, loved ones, and relatives. Get inspired by this list of Mother’s Day ideas to treat your mum in this Pacific Prime Thailand article.
Go on a road trip
With the long weekend ahead, why not get the family (including mum) together and go on a staycation? With flight tickets at their highest prices this season, it’s worth traveling by road now that petrol prices have dropped slightly. If you can, head out early to avoid traffic and choose routes that circumnavigate large cities, towns, and densely populated areas. You may want to pack something to eat on the way, and schedule pit stops at popular eateries and restaurants.
Head to Sapan for fresh air and tranquility
Depending on where you are in Thailand, you may not even have to travel far. If you’re based in the north of Thailand, say, Chiang Mai, you could drive to Nan, which is around 300 km away or a 4 hours drive. Nan is a popular province that your mum will surely love. It is home to the hidden, yet magical village called Ban Sapan. There, you can treat your mum to beautiful views of the mountains and valleys with mist and clouds passing through. There are amazing spots for memorable photos and selfies to go on Instagram too.
Travel to the beach (or hop on a boat to an island)
With the only long weekend this month, if you are based in the south of Thailand, there’s no better way to celebrate Mother’s Day but to take her to some of Thailand’s best islands. Here are a few where you can treat your mum to some fresh sea breeze and delicious seafood:
Koh Phangan
This beautiful island is home to friendly and welcoming locals that will quickly make you feel like family. You’ll also have plenty to see and do including swimming with whale sharks at Hin Bai (Sail Rock) for a truly amazing experience. That is, if your mum is into adventures of that kind! This island is also listed among one of the best islands for remote working if you plan on staying longer with your mum too!
Phuket
This island is worth going back to every time. Although it’s been developed to suit the international market of travelers and tourists, it also adds to a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. From the glamor and excitement of Patong beach to the laid-back villages located on the western side of the island, there’s always something to try and enjoy. Plus, the fresh seafood pulled from the Andaman sea is second to none, with early morning catches bringing in seashells, fish, crustaceans, and more. Your mum will surely enjoy the seafood bonanza. That said, you should head to Rawai seafood market, where you can order fresh seafood and have it cooked and served in Mook Manee Seafood, a restaurant that’s opposite the fishmongers.
Dine at a fancy restaurant in Bangkok
If it’s been a while since you last treated your mum to a wonderful dining experience, why not head to one of the capital’s many culinary places for sumptuous meals and mouth-watering desserts?
Here are the top 3 dining experiences from our specially prepared list:
1. Conrad Bangkok
If your mother loves Chinese cuisine, she will be delighted by Conrad Bangkok’s Liu Cantonese restaurant. Under the care of Chef Andy Fung, his delicately crafted dim sum dishes such as Shanghainese Xiao Long Bao, steamed chicken feet with oyster sauce, pan-fried tiger prawn with black pepper sauce, and more, will leave your mum brimming with joy. There’s also the signature Custard mooncake as a finale for lovers of this traditional Chinese dessert.
2. Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok
With both Thai and Italian cuisine available, your mother will be spoilt for choice. Italian choices at Ms.Jigger Italian Restaurant include exquisiteness such as Grilled Lamb Ribs, Summer Truffles with Pumpkin Ravioli, and more, while a dinner experience at Stock.Room offers delicacies such as Tom Kha Japanese Scallop, crab curry, and more. Don’t hesitate to book a table for a memorable Mother’s Day lunch or dinner!
3. Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit
Last, but not least, is a place that received a Michelin Plate and offers a truly gastronomic experience. For sure, it will go in your books of memorable Mother’s Day treats. There is an exclusive Michelin Guide Dining Experience at Rossini’s that features four juicy dishes like slow-roasted short ribs with onion sauce. There’s also a lunch and dinner buffet experience for families to have a feast too!
