Great Destination Weddings

IN THAILAND

From its pristine beaches to lush

rainforests, and magical mountains

to luxurious resorts, it’s no surprise

Thailand is a beloved spot for

destination weddings. Combining

opulence, relaxation and affordability,

this scenic country invites you to

discover a land where time slows and

sultry, breathtaking sunsets bathe

dramatic and diverse landscapes.

Whether exploring the wealth of cultural and adventure

activities or relaxing poolside with a delicious fruity

cocktail, Thailand is a slice of paradise – making it a perfect

destination for weddings. Your guests will be spoilt for

choice when souvenir shopping and will love Thailand’s

vibrant attractions, which lend themselves to wonderful

pre- and post-wedding outings. Be seduced by the flavours

of Thailand as you and your guests dine your way around

the local areas, or experience a sense of barefoot luxury

staying put at a glamorous beach resort. Whatever you

decide to see or do, Thailand has it all.

MAKE IT LEGAL: As a couple you must spend at least

three days in Bangkok getting relevant paperwork before

making a visit to your country’s embassy in Thailand to

complete declarations confirming your single status and

eligibility to marry. The documents will be translated into

Thai and taken to the Consular Affairs department – along

with the originals and copies of your passports – where

a consular official’s signature will be authenticated. The

documents are then ready for submission to the district

registrar who will register the marriage and issue a

marriage certificate in Thai. If that sounds a little too

complicated, a local wedding coordinator will be familiar

with exactly what’s required and should be happy to help.
