Getting Married In Koh Samui

[diamond_dog]

Hey guys,

Have been to Thaliand a heap of times. Just engaged to get married to my Irish girlfriend. Have been looking into a few places in Samui. It's hard to decipher all the bullshit. I know Samui is expensive but some of the prices seem like they are taking advantage of stupid farang. Has anyone any experiences of getting married in Samui or has any advice. Looking to pay about 1000- 1500 bt a head for food. With a beautiful setting. All advice or input is welcome and much appreciated. Thanks

How about we move this over to the Samui Forum?

I recently attended a wedding at this location http://samuihotels.impiana.com/ and it was perfect (although it has to be said the weather was perfect on the day) you should send them an email with your requirements, I cannot be sure of the cost but i believe it is within your budget..

It may be in their budget for food but once you factor in all the other charges they make for holding the wedding there I very much doubt it. My friend from the UK was given a quote for there last year. Nice place but far from reasonable

PM sent to OP

Don't forget your "Affirmations to Marry", and the running around that you will have to do before you can legally marry in Thailand, a few days will be required in Bangkok.

I will be doing the ceremony in March to a Thai, 50,000 for the religious ceremony with the Monks, and under 100,000 for the food, cheap but good. (Just outside Bangkok).

Just a thought........when I married in Thailand it was at the Tessaban and cost 180 Baht.........doing the reception thing later this year. If the OP gets married at a hotel, would they need it registered with certificates translated to English etc

[beano2274]

All Marriages require registering, does not matter where (the hotel gets someone to the the Juristic person).

Have a friend who is a celebrant on Samui, also an Australian lady who organises weddings from start to finish,

check out www.thaitheknot.org and get a quote on exactly the services you choose and not a package with things you don't what or require. Can find heaps of other companies that can help just by google search. Shop around!!

If i an Englishman gets married to a Thai National. Would my soon to be wife lose some of her rights as a thai national. like with land ownership and having shares in a company ( the thai half ).

I have many conflicting stories

Not any more.

Used to be that she could not own land, but that's gone long time ago.

Thank you I think I know whose wedding you are talking about

If you supply your own drinks and pay corkage it will make the package more affordable.
