Dreaming of a Thailand wedding or honeymoon?

Thailand remains one of the world’s most captivating wedding and honeymoon destinations: think sun-soaked beaches, vibrant culture, towering temples, and hospitality that feels like family.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a full-blown celebration, here’s an in-depth guide to help you craft the perfect Thailand wedding and/or honeymoon experience.

What time of year to host your Thailand wedding

November to February:
Prime season. Expect clear skies, cooler temperatures, and calm seas, which are ideal for beach ceremonies and outdoor dinners.

March to May:
Hot and dry. Great for an intimate destination wedding if you can schedule around midday heat.

June to October:
Monsoon months bring rain showers, especially around Phuket, Krabi, and southern islands like Koh Samui (which tends to see less rain due to regional weather patterns).

Best regions & venues for your Thailand wedding

Phuket:
A top-tier choice with luxury resorts like Keemala Resort & Spa and Thavorn Beach Village Resort & Spa offering breathtaking oceanfront venues and full-service wedding support.

Koh Samui:
Charming and serene, with island escapes like InterContinental Koh Samui Resort providing private beaches and boutique villas. The rising popularity of Koh Pha‑Ngan and Koh Tao make beautiful day-trip options.

Bangkok & Hua Hin:
Urban weddings meet Thai elegance. Amari Bangkok and Anantara Siam offer glamorous riverside venues and seamless fusion of Buddhist elements. Hua Hin brings beachfront charm at resorts like Amari Hua Hin.

Chiang Mai & Northern retreats:
Rich in culture and lush views, northern Thailand offers cooler climates and serene backdrop for boutique, intimate ceremonies.

A glimpse into traditional Thai wedding rituals

Thailand’s ceremonies delight in blending heritage with heart. Key moments include:

• Buddhist blessing: Invite 3, 5, 7, or ideally 9 monks for morning prayers and merit-making—a ritual believed to bless the couple with happiness.

• Khan Maak procession: A colourful parade led by the groom bringing gifts to the bride’s home—marked by traditional costumes, music, and celebration.

• Door games (‘Sanuk’): Playful milestones where the groom and his party navigate symbolic doors with lighthearted negotiation rituals.

• Sin Sod (bride price): A symbolic offering from the groom’s family, traditionally a dowry meant to honour and support the union.

• Water-pouring ceremony (Rod Nam Sang): Guests pour water over the couple’s hands, offering blessings and shared joy.

Things to do in Thailand on your honeymoon

From luxury beach villas to jungle hideaways, Thailand offers every honeymoon vibe imaginable. Spend your first married days poolside in Phuket, sipping coconuts under swaying palms, or escape to a tucked-away boutique resort in Chiang Mai for cool mountain air and spa days.

Whether you’re here for a few days or a few weeks, Thailand offers more than just jaw-dropping wedding venues. Here are some unforgettable experiences to add to your itinerary:

1. Island-hop in style. With over 1,400 islands to choose from, your post-wedding adventure can be as slow or spontaneous as you like. Explore the vibrant reefs of Koh Tao, dance under the stars in Koh Pha-Ngan, or charter a longtail boat to a deserted beach for two.
2. Explore ancient temples. From the glittering Grand Palace in Bangkok to the serene mountain temples of Chiang Mai, Thailand’s sacred sites are rich in culture, history, and photo ops.
3. Indulge in Thai cuisine. Go beyond pad thai. Join a local cooking class, try street food in Bangkok’s night markets, or enjoy a romantic beachside dinner with fresh seafood and mango sticky rice.
4. Visit a floating market. Drift along the canals of Damnoen Saduak or Amphawa and shop for fresh fruit, souvenirs, and spicy treats from boats bobbing with colour and life.
5. Book a couple’s Thai massage. After the big day, unwind with a traditional Thai massage at a luxury spa or beachside pavilion. Many resorts also offer wellness packages and yoga retreats.
6. Join a cultural festival. If your wedding lines up with events like Songkran (Thai New Year) in April or Loy Krathong (Festival of Lights) in November, consider it a bonus. These festivals are vibrant, meaningful, and totally unforgettable.
7. Take in a sunset (or sunrise). Head to a rooftop bar in Bangkok, a hilltop temple in Chiang Rai, or a west-facing beach in Krabi. The skies here put on a show you’ll never forget.
