If you're considering a honeymoon in Southeast Asia, there's no better place than Thailand. In addition to some of the world's most stunning beaches, the country boasts lush jungles, jaw-dropping architecture, both old and new, and a thriving capital city packed with more culture and fabulous food than you could devour in a lifetime.

While relaxing on the beaches of Ko Phi Phi, Phuket and Koh Phangan is surely top of mind for many travellers to Thailand, there's plenty more to explore both in the winding streets and hidden alleys of Bangkok and in the mystical mountains of Northern Thailand. In fact, Canadian expat Daniel Fraser has made a business out of introducing tourists to Thailand's lesser-known gems. His company, Smiling Albino, offers bespoke trips throughout the country that combine authentic local experiences with the comfort of luxury accommodations.

Since Smiling Albino's inception in 1999, the company has played host to Saudi princes, Hollywood A-listers and rock royalty, organizing tours that go way beyond any guidebook's highlights. Along with visits to must-see ancient monuments, these tours also typically include time spent at charming local hangouts, adrenaline-pumping activities and nights capped off in style at some of the country's most posh properties.

Here we'll show you a few essential experiences every traveller to Thailand should have, as recommended by the experts at Smiling Albino.
