Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

For the morning Thai Traditional ceremony, you can wear either traditional attire or just casual clothes (polo, sundress, etc) Any color is fine, if you're in the wedding party I will reach out directly. If you want to wear Thai Traditional, please reach out to Brock and send him your measurements so he can order it for you.

What should we bring for a gift?

Answer

Anything! We're just happy you guys are coming all the way to Thailand!

Question

How can I get around Chanthaburi?

Answer

Taxis and Ubers aren't a thing in Chanthaburi, so your best bet is to rent a car or moped. (International License is probably needed) However, we are going to try to hire some people to shuttle people around whenever they want to go somewhere.

Question

Are there direct flights to Chanthaburi?

Answer

Unfortunately not! The plan is to have everyone fly into Bangkok around January 24nd and spend a few days exploring Bangkok. On January 26th we will shuttle everyone at the same time to Chanthaburi

Question

How can I get around Bangkok?

Answer

Bangkok is super easy to get around. You can take a Taxi, Moped, or BTS / MRT (Subway). Ideally, you should take BTS / MRT because you're more likely to be scammed by a Taxi driver.
