Tropical Thailand

ABUNDANT NATURAL BEAUTY, tropical climate, exotic cuisine, and a rich cultural heritage to tie it all together-no wonder Thailand is reigning as one of the hottest destinations for Indian weddings. The oriental country offers an array of venue options, from luxurious beachfront resorts, to lush jungle villas, and ancient temples, catering to diverse wedding styles. Imagine walking down the sun-kissed aisle on a pristine beach in Phuket, with the sun setting over the Andaman Sea in the backdrop. Or immerse yourself in Thai culture as you tie the knot with the architectural gems like the Wat Ratchanatdaram Buddhist temple or the Grand Palace playing the perfect backdrop smackdab in the heart of bustling Bangkok. A contemporary paradise with swaying coconut palms, an endless stretch of gorgeous azure waters, soft sand, and thick lush foliage, Koh Samui is the picture-perfect setting for your dream beach wedding. The pristine islands of Krabi with the towering limestone cliffs in background make for a charming setting for any wedding ceremony-lavish or intimate. Then, there are less crowded, idyllic destinations including the breathtaking Hua Hin, the sandy shores of Rayong, and the coastal town of Khao Lak that make sure your big day isn't just an indulgent lifetime experience but is also peppered with sustainable celebrations. tourismthailand.org
