Go on a cruise. A romantic cruise down the Chao Phraya can be a good warm up for your special night. If you don’t happen to own a yacht, for B4,000, love birds can enjoy a 2-hour international buffet, live music, and a stunning view of the shining stars and temples. Try Chaophraya Cruise (02-541-5599. www.chaophrayacruise.com). But if the idea sounds better suited for your parents (it kind of is), just head to Lumpini Park (MRT Silom) instead. For B80/hour, you can hold hands and breathe in loads of slightly less polluted air as you pedal your little boat into the sunset.

Play it safe. If you’re not ready to raise a baby, then wrap it up. But if you’re bored with Durex, go for something with ticklers or some exotic flavor. Too shy? Try www.zeedcondom.com for discreet home delivery.

Sing your love. But don’t just head to any karaoke joint. R&B Karaoke has over 10 concept rooms to help you set the mood, with rates starting B300. Don’t forget to call 02-675-4224 and ask them for an all-night promotion. Karaoke not enough? Then we suggest you do it at Yes!! R&B (Arena 10, Thong Lor Soi 10, 02-675-4224) before heading down to the dance floor at Demo or Funky Villa. The place features over 16 themed rooms based on concepts like Prison Break or Dream Girls. B399++ each, inclusive of karaoke room and dinner buffet, 6-10pm.

Reach for the stars. If you’ve already done it in the pool, the stairwell, the car and on your desk, it’s time to go inter-galactic by doing it in the Star Wars room of short-time motel Banana State (55/1 Moo 6, Kanjanphisek Rd., Nonthaburi, 02-459-2121/-4.www.bananstate.com). It’s clean, it’s whacky and you can always ask for the Madonna or Marilyn rooms if Ewoks aren’t your idea of sexy.

Skate before sex. Ice skating is the ultimate romantic outing. Hold hands, pretend you’re in a romantic comedy set in New York, and cozy up together to fight the blistering cold.
- Blu-O. Nightclub vibe and lots of teens. B150/ hour or 180 from 9pm-midnight. 4/F, Esplanade, Ratchada Rd., 02-354-2138.
- The Rink. Small and surrounded by curious shoppers. B250/90 minutes. 1/F, Forum Zone, CentralWorld, 02-613-1480.
- Imperial World. Affordable but crummy ice. B150/session (3-4 hours). 5/F, 2539 Ladprao Rd., 02-934-9253.
- Imperial Samrong. Serious, olympic-sized, industrial and a little scary. B200/day. 02-756-8217.

Heat thing ups. If the same old sex routine’s getting too dull, heat up your bedroom temperature with some assistance from all the sexy goodies at The Hidden Closet at Mansion 7 (Ratchada Soi 14, 02-275-0057). We like the edible undies for him and her (B220 each) made from selections of flavored jelly—passion fruit, cherry, vanilla, and strawberry chocolate. But if you have a thing for sadism, get one of their paddles (B2,300), a handcuff (B950), and start the spanking exercise. Hot and steamy costumes, erotic sextivity games, and special condoms are also available to turn things on.
