Disfunktional Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) Sawadee Kaa We are a couple in our early to mid twenties. We have digested a vast amount of opinions, so much so infact that our brains have gone into overload, e.g Phi Phi tidal issues and debris Vs Epitome of paradise... Essentially, I just want a kick in the right direction so I can start short listing hotels for a wedding venue in 20 odd months time. Ideally we would like a happy medium between seclusion and decent restaurants and night life, with a view of obviously having the beach close by. We are not on a budget exactly but we are having approx 15 guests and don't want to make them find accommodation in a pricey resort. We plan to spend approx a month in Thailand, so all can be covered realistically, but where would you get married? 1 - Koh Tao 2 - Lanta 3 - Koh Pangan 4 - Krabi 5 - Phi Phi 6 - Another, please specify Have been to KS and KP before but have yet to sample the others. Thanks all for taking time to read this frenetic post. Edited April 21, 2007 by Disfunktional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 If i had a choice. It would be Ko Lanta, Krabi or not on your list. Ko Samet. DEFINATELY not KOh Samui or Koh Panghan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Krabi or maybe Koh Chang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 i wouldnt tend to go for anywhere on the east coast at that time of the year. you will be better off looking at the west coast islands or beaches....ko lanta, krabi. phi phi - way too many people. but it does depend on WHEN in december you plan on. the hotels are mainly not so busy leading up to december 20, but after then they are chockers and as its peak season, you will pay premium prices. (i work in a hotel so am speaking from experience). 7-15 december is a good time to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sea gypsies and litter are something that have put me off Ko lanta, is this realistic or fabricated? Also Pricewise, is Krabi overpriced in comparison to other Islands? Thanks again people.

December is the high season everywhere in Thailand. Krabi has more options than Koh Lanta in the middle class hotels. I have been going to the south (living in Pattaya) minimum once a year for 17 years and found Krabi (AoNang) the best place to be, especially if your interested in a wider variety of restaurants. In Koh Lanta your not spoiled for choice outside the hotels. There is one particular hotel which is perfect for a honeymoon, but the name escapes me know. Will send PM. Its got only 8 bungalows so privacy guaranteed. Cheers Onzestan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disfunktional Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Thanks all so far for your input. If this thread were the Olympics, then Krabi would be tested for nandrolone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzestan Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thanks all so far for your input.If this thread were the Olympics, then Krabi would be tested for nandrolone. Haven't seen any nandrolone's in Krabi yet. A lot of nandrotogethers though.

leisurely Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Why would you want to come to a place you don't live* in to get wed? I have never understood this phenomenon, although I am the least romantic person in the world. Where ever you choose enjoy the day. *Actually if you live in Grays or Manchester I can understand it.
