Love in the air, wedding under water in Trang

[Thaivisa News]

Trang:- The 19th Trang Underwater Wedding Ceremony will kick off tomorrow for 30 couples who wish to register their marriage in one of the most memorable fashions – deep under the sea.

“Of the couples, most are Thai. But we have also got one couple from China and one couple from India,” Trang Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Salin Totabtiang says.

According to him, the unique ceremony will also include other special activities for the couples. Held under the theme of “Infinity of Love”, the event will run from February 12 to February 14.

As a great diving destination, Trang started hosting the now-famous underwater wedding nearly two decades ago. Over the period, 547 couples from 32 countries across the globe have come to register their marriage in the green water of this Thai southern province.

“Our sea is beautiful and so is our local culture,” Salin says.

Ban Pa Ngam Resort, meanwhile, has vowed to host its 12th Wedding Adventure Ceremony to mark the upcoming St Valentine’s Day even though it has relocated its business from Prachin Buri to Ratchaburi.

Ban Pa Ngam Resort had to close down in Prachin Buri over allegations it encroached on national forest.

“This year, we have chosen to host the event at the Scenery Vintage Farm in Ratchaburi’s Suan Phueng district but with the same old theme,” Ban Pha Ngam Resort’s manager Nattapon Wuttikanakorn says.

He says the event will be held on February 12 and 13 in collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

“Three couples will join the adventurous activities like climbing up the 12-metre-high artificial wall and running through a storm of flower petals,” Nattapon says.
