It is no longer only movie stars who jet off to tie the knot in exotic locations; many couples are ditching the large family wedding for more intimate affairs in foreign countries. It isn’t surprising that Thailand is a popular choice, as the country is renowned for its natural beauty, rich culture and incredibly warm and hospitable people. While the beaches and islands of Thailand offer a paradise setting for a ceremony, there are plenty more locations to consider such as a traditional Chiang Mai wedding.
Chiang Mai weddings
While Chiang Mai is considered Thailand’s second city, it has little in common with Bangkok. With more than 700 years of colourful history, Chiang Mai is renowned for its art, culture and relaxed pace of life. The city has many beautiful temples and is surrounded by historic walls. Northern Thailand has a distinct charm that makes it an ideal wedding and honeymoon destination. More on sightseeing.
Chiang Mai weddings are also very easy to access, as the city has an international airport which offers regular flight services to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. More on transportation.
