We recommend arriving no later than Thursday, December 22nd. This will allow you to adjust to the time difference in time for the wedding on Saturday, December 24th.
We recommend booking your flights + hotel as soon as you can determine your travel days, preferably before July 31st. December is the most popular travel season in Thailand, so the sooner the better!
Please refer to the "Where to Stay" section in the menu bar above to find more details about recommended hotels and shuttle service to the wedding venue.
Thailand offers a lot to see outside of Bangkok City. It is common for visitors to spend 3-4 days in Bangkok and another 3-4 days in either Chiangmai (Northern Thailand) or one of the Southern Islands (Samui, Phi Phi, Krabi, Koh Tao). We recommend 10 or more days in Thailand to get the most out of your long journey.
Skytrains and subways are available but limited to metropolitan areas. Destinations such as the Grand Palace require a taxi or rideshare if you are traveling from the suggested hotel area. You can download "Grab" which is Thailand's main rideshare app. For short destinations ( 1-2 miles), tuktuks are a fun, convenient, and affordable option.
Please see information on our COVID-19 page.
We recommend you convert some cash to baht as most street vendors and taxi/tuktuk drivers will only except baht. You can convert your money at any Thai bank for better exchange rates or the airport for convenience, although exchange rates are not as good. Not accounting for shopping (which we highly recommend doing!), you can expect to spend $20-$40 USD per day with just cash. Most brick and mortar sellers and stores accept credit or debit cards.
The suggested attire is semi-formal. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. The suggested color palette is earth tones.
Dinner will be served during the reception in cocktail style and food stations with a mix of Thai and Asian fusion.
