Thai Buddhist Wedding Phuket

Are you thinking of heading to Thailand on a whirlwind romance through Southeast Asia for your Phuket wedding and event, or perhaps enjoying a Thai Buddhist Wedding Phuket? Why not make it official and tie the knot at some beautiful temple or quiet beach? Thai buddhist wedding customs are still prevalent today. There is a certain charm and romance in getting married through a traditional Thai Buddhist wedding ceremony at Phuket.

A Thai buddhist wedding blessing is very popular for overseas couples. Whatever their own religious beliefs, the Buddhist wedding ceremony in Thailand is a universally serene and charming occasion.

The Thai Wedding Ceremony is quite a unique experience. The couple is suggested what to wear to the Thailand wedding, and the activities feature blessings and traditions. We tend to skip traditional Thai wedding dowry, which is entirely excluded in western cultures. Brides and grooms from elsewhere in the world who would like to immerse themselves in the remarkable local culture, enjoy other unforgettable wedding rituals such as monk blessings.

A Thai Buddhist wedding blessing is a fantastic way to explore and embrace the culture of the country. It is also a unique option for couples who do not prefer a standard western ceremony and celebration. Thai Buddhist wedding blessings include the ritual of presenting offerings to the monks at a local monastic temple. An archway of exotic flowers can also frame the sparkling Andaman Sea, creating a serene ambiance for coupes to partake in a traditional Thai wedding ritual of water pouring.

We at Phuket Weds, remove the stress in planning, while still including you in the process. Now sit back, relax, and watch your dream Thai buddhist wedding blessing and commitment ceremony Thailand wedding come to life!

Yes! But don’t worry, it will be easy to follow along and we’ll guide you through it all during the day. Once the booking is confirmed we’ll send you a small eBook about traditional Thai Buddhist weddings customs.

Is a Buddhist wedding in Thailand that same as elsewhere?

Similar but not the same. A Buddhist Wedding in Thailand is not the same as a Buddhist Wedding in Bhutan or Nepal for example. This is because Buddhism has various different vehicles such as Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana. Thailand is generally in the traditional Theravada vehicle of Buddhism meaning it is the most authenticly traditional or earliest teachings. It tends to emphasize prayers and meditations only (instead of mantras and various Buddhist deities).

Are you a Thai wedding planner?

Yes, we are a Thai Wedding Planner team partnered with Western Wedding Planners. Wen bring you the cultural sensitivity and efficiency that is unique among Phuket Wedding Planners and Phuket Wedding Services. A Thai wedding planner can easily arrange the temple requirements while a western planner can communicate with you most clearly.

What time is a typical Buddhist wedding ceremony in Thailand?

A typical Buddhist wedding ceremony in Thailand starts in the morning or afternoon. We need to recheck about the available time for the monks, before the event date. Sometimes their schedule is booked for other rituals and prayers. Therefore, it is good to plan in advance. A Thai Buddhist Wedding Phuket typically starts in the late-afternoon or mid-morning.

Can a Thai wedding ceremony be combined with a Western Wedding?

Yes! We have many couples combining their Thai Wedding Ceremony with a western tradition at the temple (free) or at another location such as the nearby pristine beaches of Phuket (usually has setup costs).

Do Thai wedding traditions cost much?

A typical package starts at around 45,000 to 55,000 THB (1500 to 1850 USD) with everything you need for a Traditional Thai Wedding and Monk Blessing.
