Weddings in Thailand
Supermodel Kate Moss and rocker Pete Doherty held a mock Buddhist wedding on the island of Phuket – this is a beautiful location for couples planning a real wedding of their own! Eastern mysticism combines with Western flare in this amazing country, from the fast paced city of Bangkok to the unspoilt beaches of its tropical resorts of Hua Hin, Koh Samui and Phuket.
Thailand offers outstanding hotels, with very high standards of service and luxury complete with world class spas and award winning restaurants. Choose from a western style wedding or a lavish Thai ceremony blessed by a Buddhist monk.
