You can also make your Valentine's Day special without breaking the bank by opting for a riverside dining at Icon Siam, Asiatique or Thai Maharaj.

Some mid-range restaurants at Icon Siam that offer river views include Kab Khao Kab Pla, Grey Hound and HOBs.

Tha Maharaj has a couple of budget-friendly Casual cafés, street food, and dessert spots. After dinner, you can also walk along the river, take photos or grab a drink.

Spending your Valentine's evening at Asiatique would also be ideal, as you can have everything in one spot, from a proper sit-down dinner to a riverside walk to dessert. You can also go on the Ferris wheel.

Happy Fish is a restaurant in Asiatique by the river. They servce both Thai and international dishes. People usually love the vibe there as it’s relaxed and not overly expensive, with live music to keep you entertained.

Couples Massage at a Local Thai Spa

Another way to enjoy your Valentine's Day in Bangkok is to book a couple's massage. Many Bangkok Spas offer a couples room with affordable massage options. It's a great chance for couples to unwind together and build a connection beyond the usual dinner date.

Places like Health Land Spa & Massage are well-known for their quality while still offering solid mid-range pricing at around THB 1,200 to 2,000 for a 90 to 120-minute session for two people. You can also check Gowabi for affordable couple spa packages.

Café-Hopping or Dessert Date

A café-hopping and dessert night is a sweet, low-pressure Valentine’s option. It’s thoughtful yet romantic. Instead of committing to one long dinner, you get to wander, chat, and enjoy small moments together, which can feel more natural and fun. It’s also more budget-friendly and perfect for couples who prefer meaningful time together over an extravagant dinner.

Places like Thank You Cup and Break Bar BKK are featuring February's special desserts. At Thank You Cup, you can try their cheesecake yoghurt soft serve with Valentine-themed toppings. Bread Bar BKK is also a great place to stop by for heart-shaped chocolate mousse and tiramisu.

Zero-Cost Things to Do Together

Cook Together at Home

You can also spend Valentine's Day together without spending anything. One easy thing you can do together is cook a meal using whatever you already have at home. It's one of the best quality times as you're making decisions together, laughing together, and naturally talking together without the pressure.

Sometimes, you even build a deeper connection this way as compared to sitting across the table at a restaurant. This is because it becomes more of an effort-driven event. It takes effort, and when it’s over, you’re like, we really made this together. That feeling can stick longer than a pricey night out.

Picnic Date in a City Park

A low-key picnic at a park in Bangkok can be a really sweet Valentine’s plan. You can go to Lumpini Park, Benjasiri Park or just pick one nearby and bring a mat, some chips, coffee in a tumbler, and hang out while the city winds down.

It's both personal and thoughtful, and is a great idea for couples who may be tight on budget but still want to have a meaningful day.

Riverside Walks at Sunset

Riverside walks are a lovely, zero-cost way to spend Valentine’s Day, offering uninterrupted time to talk while taking in the sunset along the river. Chao Phraya Sky Park is one of the city’s best-designed walking spaces, with open views that feel calm and quietly romantic as the sun goes down.

Alternatively, a walk along Rama VIII Bridge offers wide pavements, open skies, and a long stretch of river, making it an ideal spot to catch the sunset as the water glows in soft pinks and golds.

Whichever spot you choose, the real beauty of a sunset walk lies in simply being present together.
