The Easiest Way to Say
“I Do” in Thailand

In an ideal world, you’d have a window of 10-18 months to plan your wedding in Thailand, but we’ve been known to get together an all-star team and wedding package in less time. If you’re on the typical track, though, here’s a simplified timeline for planning your destination wedding.

10-18 Months to go. Book your destination wedding package with your Easy Weddings specialist, including your venue, accommodation, celebrant, photographer, and entertainment. Shop for your wedding attire.

12 Months to go. Send your save-the-dates via mail or email, providing a notecard or wedding website with information on accommodation and travel arrangements. Choose and order your bridal attire (ordered gowns usually require about a year’s notice).

8-10 Months to go. Confirm your flights to Thailand and arrange your honeymoon accommodation.

Finalize all flowers for the ceremony and reception. Confirm your hair and makeup artist for the wedding day.

5-8 Months to go. Chat with your Easy Weddings consultant to answer all of your questions and assist you with planning all the finer details of your wedding. Order your wedding cake if it is different from the package. Finalize the decor and furniture for the event. Finalize the outfits for your wedding party.

2-3 Months to go. Arrange bomboniere or welcome bags with special Thai goodies for your guests. Send out your wedding invitations.

2-4 Weeks to go. Easy Weddings sends your wedding day run sheet with timings and supplier contact info. Together, we’ll have a meeting with your venue event manager to discuss the details of your wedding festivities.

Thailand’s rich culture, delicious food, and beautiful settings make filling a travel itinerary without a wedding easy. We generally recommend hosting one or two wedding events and allowing guests to explore on their own for a day or two. Here are some experiences you might suggest for them: 

• Island Hopping: Explore the stunning Thai islands, each with its unique charm and attractions. Each island offers its slice of paradise, from the famous Phuket and Phi Phi islands to the lesser-known Koh Lanta and Koh Tao.
• Cultural Tours: Immerse yourself in Thailand’s rich cultural heritage with visits to ancient temples, bustling markets, and traditional villages. Participate in a traditional Thai cooking class or witness mesmerizing Thai dance performances.
• Beach Activities: Thailand’s beaches offer a variety of activities, from snorkelling and diving in vibrant coral reefs to thrilling water sports such as jet-skiing and parasailing.
• Elephant Sanctuaries: Experience the joy of interacting with elephants at ethical sanctuaries, where you can feed, bathe, and observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
• Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand: Explore the enchanting city of Chiang Mai, known for its ancient temples, lush mountains, and vibrant night markets. Venture into the northern regions to discover the stunning landscapes and unique hill tribe cultures.
• Bangkok: Discover the vibrant capital city of Bangkok, where modernity meets tradition. Visit iconic landmarks such as the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, indulge in delectable street food, and experience the bustling nightlife.
• Thai Spa and Wellness: Relax and rejuvenate with traditional Thai massages and spa treatments. Thailand is renowned for its wellness offerings, allowing you to unwind and pamper yourself before or after the wedding.
• Golfing: If you are a golf enthusiast, Thailand offers world-class golf courses with breathtaking views and challenging fairways. A few favourites include Nikanti Golf Club in Bangkok, Black Mountain in Hua Hin, and Blue Canyon in Phuket.

Do I have to have a wedding date picked already?

Not necessarily. It’s usually helpful to have an idea of the time of year you’d like and whether you’re flexible about the day of the week.

How do we choose the best Thai wedding venue for our wedding?

Feel free to peruse the options online, but we’re also happy to talk you through your options. It’s often easier for us to make recommendations when we know what’s most important to you.

What’s included in your Thailand wedding packages?

Aside from our personal wedding planning services, our destination wedding packages include ceremony and reception spaces, food and beverage costs, and accommodation. Depending on which suppliers you’d like to include, your package may also come with a photographer, celebrant, entertainment, and perhaps a hair and makeup artist or videographer. Our packages are fully customisable, with all pricing explained up-front.

Our minimum guest count is 35 guests, but we don’t have a max. That said, your resort options may become more limited if you’re planning to host over 250 guests.

Can we get legally married in Thailand?

Yes.  That said, we usually recommend getting the legal stuff done in at home instead. Read our Guide to Thailand Wedding Ceremonies for more insight.

Getting to your destination.

Thailand is well connected to the UK, with flights departing from London and other major airports to hubs such as Bangkok and Phuket, usually with one stop via cities like Dubai, Doha, or Singapore. Phuket International Airport is the second busiest airport in Thailand and an easy access point for many of the island’s wedding resorts. Hua Hin is around a two to three hour drive from Bangkok’s main airport, while Koh Samui is typically reached via a short connecting flight from Bangkok.

When to go

Weather varies slightly depending on where you’re planning to host your wedding, but in general November to February is considered peak season in Thailand. During these months the weather is cooler, drier, and more comfortable, with lower humidity. This period also aligns with peak tourist season, so couples looking for fewer crowds often consider the shoulder seasons of March to May and September to October. June to August falls within the monsoon period in many parts of Thailand.

More specifically, Phuket, located in the Andaman Sea on Thailand’s west coast, experiences two main seasons: the dry season from November to April and the wet season from May to October. The dry season is usually the most popular time for weddings in Phuket.

Koh Samui, located in the Gulf of Thailand on the east coast, and Hua Hin on the western side of the Gulf, have slightly different weather patterns. These areas typically experience a dry season from December to February, a hotter period from March to August, and a wetter season from September to November. The dry months are generally considered the most ideal time for weddings in these regions.

Do I have to have a wedding date picked already?
Not necessarily. It’s usually helpful to have a general time of year in mind and whether you’re flexible about the day of the week.
