Phuket — a few ways to have an unforgettable wedding

Many regions of Thailand are very popular among Russian tourists. Among the most popular are Pattaya, Bangkok and, of course, Phuket. This island is able to offer a young couple as much entertainment as they want. Thanks to this, newlyweds have a lot of interesting ideas for celebrating the wedding. Here are a few of them:

• The most original and bright idea for a wedding in Phuket is an underwater wedding ceremony, when the bride and groom put on scuba diving and go into the sea to formalize their relationship there;
• beach ceremony — a classic Thai version, which involves many guests, a banquet in a restaurant and unique natural surroundings in the form of the sound of the surf, rustling palm leaves and the smell of fresh fruit;
• instead of the boring limousines and other types of wedding cortege Thai marriage agencies offered their own version — a leisurely ride on an elephant. Such a ride can effectively complete the ceremony and give the young people a lot of emotions.

Phuket offers a large number of activities. You just have to choose what you like and what you can afford. In addition, you can visit one of the local attractions, which we will tell you about below.

Karon

One of the most famous beaches in Phuket and probably the most popular in Thailand. The length of this sandbank is about 5 kilometers. This place is famous for its «singing» sand. By «singing» locals mean the crunch of sand under the weight of feet because of the abundance of quartz in its composition. Everything is present here for wedding celebrations — mild climate, cozy restaurants and spacious hotels.

Phuket Fantasy Park

It is probably the most popular vacation spot on the island, both among young people and older people. Tourists often come here to celebrate their weddings. The most important attraction of the park is the Elephant Theater Palace. This show resembles the cultural programs of American Las Vegas and tells various stories from the mythology of Thailand. Here you have a chance to have a lot of fun and take lots of photos that will capture your wedding in a fun and interesting way.

Wat Chalong

In pursuit of spectacular shots, you can head to the southern part of Phuket Island to visit Wat Chalong, one of the area’s legendary Buddhist temples. The date of its foundation is not exactly known. The first written mention is recorded in 1873, the date of the temple’s complete reconstruction. Here you can arrange a photo session with one of the local professional photographers. In addition, a large fair is held here every year.

Be sure to visit these Phuket attractions:

1. Phuket Big Buddha

This is the name of a large temple complex topped by a large statue of Buddha, visible from anywhere on the southern edge of the island. The statue is located more than 400 meters above sea level, at the highest point of Mount Nakaked. This place is a must-see for all tourists. There is a belief that if newlyweds tie a twig on one of the trees here, their married life will be happy and long.

2. Kata Karon Viewpoint

This is one of the attractions of the aforementioned Karon Beach. The observation deck is located at the top of Kho Sam Hat Hill, the name of which translates into Russian as «the hill of three beaches». During the day you can buy souvenirs and drinks, which the bartenders prepare right in front of your eyes. In the evening, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Kata Noi, Karon and Kata beaches.

3. Splash Jungle Waterpark 

A small and comfortable water park for lovers of active rest. All attractions here are located quite compactly, so you do not need to walk too far to get new sensations. If you decide to hold your wedding here, then at your service is a restaurant that prepares both Thai and European dishes. In addition, in this water park you will be able to use the services of a professional photographer.

Thai Wedding Traditions

This country is rich in various traditions, among which there are quite interesting wedding customs:

• In order to show a girl his intention to marry, a young Thai man should present her with a gold ring and a ransom in the form of valuable things or money;
• during the wedding Thai bride can change about 10 dresses, but none of them should not be black — this color promises misfortune and grief in the future family life of the young couple;
• to make the newlyweds’ life happy and rich, during the wedding a special cup is filled with grains and legumes.

Wedding in warm and friendly Thailand will not be fatal for the budget of a young family, because vacation here is certainly cheaper than in Europe and not much more expensive than in Russia. Newlyweds will get a charge of unforgettable emotions. This will make the start of their family life more happy.
