If you’re exploring a destination wedding with gorgeous views, unique travel experience and luxury stays, you should get married in Thailand. I’ve spent the last fifteen years traveling to visit my family in Thailand. After exploring many regions of the country, I can say that getting married in Thailand would be the most dreamy adventurous experience.
Why Elope in Thailand?
One of my biggest selling points to Thailand is the versatility between city life and a relaxing oceanfront vacation. Flights depart from the United States frequently and are usually between one to two stops. Pricing will vary between $800-$2k per person depending on the flight and seating class. Weather in the fall and winter season can be fair and warm. Hospitality is at the forefront of Thai culture, so accommodations can be amazing for visitors. Lastly, it’s the perfect spot to tie in with a honeymoon.
Where to Elope in Thailand
Below are some of the best places to elope in Thailand, paired with insights of the area and why they’re exceptional choices for couples who value a mixture of luxury locations paired with scenery.
Before we dive in, many of these elopement locations can accommodate groups. This means you can have a more traditional elopement with the two of you, or invite your friends and family to join.
Weddings in Koh Samui
When I first visited Samui, I fell in love with the pace of the island. It felt like a little island paradise, with the perfect mix of nature and relaxation. For couples who want to stay in one area during their travels, this is it.
