If you’ve been dreaming of a fairy-tale wedding, you’ll find it in this charming corner of the country.

Why Thailand?

Brides and grooms are seduced by pristine beaches, historic sites that have no equal, and a paradise-like ambience not found elsewhere in Asia.

What to expect if you Choose Thailand for your Wedding

Thai officials are eager to help couples circumnavigate all of the bureaucratic details of destination weddings. Embassies and law firms are available to couples who need help navigating the smallest detail, from precise translations to affirmations and verification's so everything is legal and binding.

8 Reasons to Have your Wedding in Chiang Mai

If you’ve been searching for the right place in Thailand to hold your festivities, we highly recommend Chiang Mai myriad reasons. We would include all of them here, but you are pressed for time so we’ll offer you our eight top reasons for eschewing other points on the compass in favour of Chiang Mai:

1. Frequent travellers to Thailand choose Chiang Mai over Bangkok because it’s an idyllic mix of city and country. Chiang Mai is devoid of Bangkok’s hustle, bustle, traffic, crowding and smog. It’s large enough to provide guests with lots of entertainment, but small enough to navigate during their stay in this charming city.

2. Explore Chiang Mai on foot. Visit the Old City and the New City effortlessly. Wander streets, shops and sites along the Ping River. The Sunday Market (Night Bazaar) in the Old City isn’t to be missed if your wedding party is in town over the weekend, or make visiting this market an essential part of your honeymoon itinerary.

3. Stroll ancient sites established in Chiang Mai 700 years ago when this was the capital of the Lanna Kingdom. Breathtaking temples and landmarks, you’ll find plenty of sports activities to liven up your in-country stay and the dining opportunities in Chiang Mai are delicious, ranging from small food stalls to luxe eateries staffed by top chefs.

4. If you marry in Chiang Mai, it's the ideal place for your honeymoon, too. This conservative haven isn’t frequented by "brash" tourism, so your Mum can attend your wedding without fainting and the two of you can enjoy strolling around without being bothered by offensive sites and sounds.

5. Chat up a monk. You'll encounter many holy men and they are both kind and eager to talk to westerners and brush up on their English language skills. What a fortuitous trade-off! You two get the benefit of sage advice to guide your married life and you’ll help one or more monks achieve their goals of properly speaking the Queen's English!

6. Save money on everything associated with your Chiang Mai wedding. Because the cost of living is lower here than in Bangkok, you will likely spend less on everything from lodgings to attire. Want to see how creative you can get by planning a destination wedding on a shoestring? Marry in Chiang Mai during low season and save a bundle.

7. Relax and de-stress. There’s a reason ex-pats retire to Chiang Mai: The crime rate is low, thus you and your guests needn’t worry about walking around at night while taking in the sights, tastes and fragrances surrounding this enchanting city, no matter what time of the year you visit.

8. Beauty is all around you. Whether you stage your wedding at a cave, waterfall, mountaintop, jungle or leave your cares behind by letting a skilled hotel wedding planner take care of every detail on site-—you never have to worry about the quality of your wedding photos because no matter where you stage your ceremony in Chiang Mai, you’re going to wind up with photos that are gorgeous enough for magazine covers!
