See why couples marry in Thailand

What draws couples to Thailand, place by place.

Know the legal side before you set a date

Yes: visitors can legally marry by registering at a Thai district office (Amphoe), and an unregistered ceremony has no legal effect under Thai law.

The steps, in order:

1. Get your embassy document: each foreign partner gets one from their own embassy in Thailand. Australians need a Certificate of No Impediment from the Embassy in Bangkok or Consulate-General in Phuket; British nationals need a marital status affirmation. 2. Attend your embassy appointment: attend in person with original passports and any divorce, death or name change certificates. 3. Translate the documents into Thai: have the embassy documents translated into Thai by a translation agency. 4. Legalise the translated documents: have the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalise them at a legalisation office, such as Bangkok, Phuket or Chiang Mai. 5. Register at the district office: take the legalised documents and passports to a district office (Amphoe) and register the marriage, ideally with an interpreter. 6. Receive your certificate and celebrate: receive your Thai marriage certificate, then hold your ceremony and celebration at your chosen venue.

Questions couples ask about marrying in Thailand

Is a symbolic ceremony a good option?
Yes, and it is very common. Many couples sign the legal paperwork at home, for example at an Australian registry office, then hold a symbolic ceremony in Thailand with all the same styling and rituals.
Is Thailand safe for a wedding group?
The main wedding regions are popular and well set up for visitors. Read Smartraveller, travel.state.gov or FCDO advice, swim only at patrolled beaches in monsoon months and keep an eye on drinks at night.
Can we include Thai Buddhist or Lanna traditions in our ceremony?
Yes, and several resorts run them in house. Amora Beach Resort in Phuket offers a water blessing with merit-making offerings for 3 monks and garlands for the couple. In Chiang Mai, Veranda High Resort hosts Lanna rituals such as the Khan Mak procession and Bai Sri Su Kwan wrist-binding. Anantara Koh Yao Yai follows Thai rites including the exchange of floral garlands. Your advisor can pair a blessing with Western vows.
Do Thai resorts host Indian and Chinese weddings?
Yes. The Centara resorts in Hua Hin, Koh Samui and Phuket all list Western, Thai, Indian and Chinese ceremonies. Anantara Koh Yao Yai runs multi-day Indian weddings, with a Haldi by the main pool, marquee evenings on the lawn and a Baraat leading to a beach ceremony. Thavorn Beach Village in Phuket plans Indian festivities and folds in cultural details from your own background.
Which Thai venues can take a very large guest list?
The biggest rooms are in Phuket and Hua Hin. Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket combines its ballroom into 576 square metres for up to 780 people. In Hua Hin, the Topiary Garden at Centara Grand takes up to 500. Amora Beach Resort's ballroom holds 350, and Amari Koh Samui hosts more than 250 on Chaweng Beach. Your advisor can match venue size to your final numbers.
What is there for children at a Thai wedding?
Plenty, as many resorts are built for families. Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket has a water park, lazy river and Camp Safari Kids' Club running from 09:00 to 18:00. Anantara Koh Yao Yai has a family pool with 4 water slides and its own Kids' Club. Amari Koh Samui pairs a kids' club with a water park, and Veranda High Resort in Chiang Mai has a children's pool.
Can we marry on a boat or a pier in Thailand?
Yes, in Phuket. Cape Panwa Hotel holds ceremonies on board the Panwa Princess for up to 40 guests. Thavorn Beach Village has AMOR, a 185-metre private pier over the Andaman Sea used for vows and private dinners. At Amari Phuket, The Jetty stretches over Patong Bay for smaller ceremonies and sunset photos. Your advisor can plan a dinner on land to follow.
