2. Located just off the east coast of mainland Thailand, Koh
Samui is a stunning island of natural beauty where you can
relax and kick back or enjoy a stay that is action packed
and fast paced. It’s one of the most visited islands in the
country and with its pristine white beaches fringed with
coconut trees, clear calm waters, exotic cuisine, diverse
culture and unique outdoor activities, it’s not hard to see
why.
3. Here are three more reasons why you should include
Koh Samui for your dream wedding abroad:
4. A place where romance is in the air
No matter where you choose to get married in Koh Samui
you can guarantee stunning backdrops and vistas that take
your breath away. With pristine beaches, dramatic scenery
and bright blue skies, romance is always in the air.
Surrounded by clear, blue waters and lush vegetation, it’s
the perfect place for a beach wedding. Just imagine
walking down the aisle barefooted, the warm sand
between your toes, a gentle breeze caressing your face,
and with the warm pink glow of the sunset as your
backdrop.
5. Or if the beach isn’t for you, then just think how
wonderfully romantic it would be to exchange your vows in
a tropical garden brimming with colourful blooms and the
air intoxicated with the sweet floral perfume. This and
much more is available to Koh Samui.
6. Traditional Buddhist Thai wedding
If you’re looking for something less conventional, then
the chance of a traditional Buddhist Thai wedding is
something not to be missed. The ceremony is performed
by orange robed monks in front of an image of the Lord
Buddha.
The smell of candles and incense burning create an air of
calming serenity. Prayers will be chanted and the couple
blessed as they kneel down together hand in hand. This
is followed by a water ceremony where the senior monk
drapes a sacred string around the couple’s heads as a
symbol of their commitment to each other.
7. Guests are then invited to give their blessing by pouring a
small amount of water over the couple’s hands. The
ceremony lasts for about half an hour and is serene,
evocative, and almost hypnotic for everyone involved.
8. Straight into the honeymoon
Another great thing about getting married in Koh Samui is
that couples won’t have far to travel for their honeymoon
or risk the chance of arriving there exhausted. Wedding
resorts offer something for everyone with a variety of
packages to suit any budget.
They also offer honeymoon packages which newly wed
couples might wish to take advantage of. Some resorts
offer the couple a relaxing massage or spa treatment
before their big day which leaves them feeling wonderfully
rejuvenated and eagerly looking forward to their big
occasion.
9. With the resorts boasting their own private beaches and
idyllic villas in which to stay, this really is a marriage made
in heaven.
So if you’re dreaming of a tropical wedding abroad, why
not turn your dreams into a reality and choose Koh Samui
as your destination.
