Getting married in Thailand is certainly possible but not as easy as a lot of pacific countries. The process can take 4-5 days and is done in Bangkok. Not many hotels in Thailand will handle the legalities of a wedding and the cost of this service is not included in any hotel prices. Wedding Destinations uses a local Bangkok company to take all the hassles out of the legal requirements. This allows you to only really need 1 night in Bangkok and they can then handle the rest of the arrangements on your behalf so you can go off and enjoy your wedding experience. There is an additional charge of THB10000 ($360.00) for this service. Further information is supplied with your initial enquiry.
