Thailand Wedding Venues: 101 Resorts, Hotels & Villas We Have Filmed

A venue guide written by a wedding photo and film team, not a directory. Every resort, hotel and villa on this page is a place where we have photographed or filmed a real wedding — in Bangkok, on the beaches near the city, on the Andaman islands, in the Gulf and in the mountains of the north. Each one links to the couple’s story or film.

Thailand wedding venues

Where are the best wedding venues in Thailand?

The best wedding venues in Thailand are the beachfront resorts of Hua Hin, Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi and Koh Samui, the riverside and city hotels of Bangkok, and the mountain resorts of Chiang Mai and Khao Yai. This guide lists 101 venues where Koro Films has photographed or filmed a real wedding, grouped by region, with a link to each couple’s story. Wedding photography at these venues starts at 20,000 THB in Bangkok and 30,000 THB on the islands.

Thailand wedding venues (สถานที่จัดงานแต่งงานในประเทศไทย) fall into four groups. Bangkok has the five-star hotels, ballrooms and temples for Indian, Thai and city weddings. Hua Hin, Pattaya and Rayong are beach resorts 1.5 to 3 hours from the capital by road, so guests can land in Bangkok and drive. Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi, Koh Lanta and Koh Samui are the island and Andaman destinations, a short flight away, with resorts and private villas on the sand. Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Khao Yai are the cool-season choices in the hills. Most of our couples fly in from abroad, and we work in English and Thai.

Venues by region

Which region of Thailand is right for your wedding?

Choose Bangkok for a hotel wedding with a ballroom and easy flights for guests. Choose Hua Hin or Pattaya for a beach resort within a few hours’ drive of the capital. Choose Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi or Koh Samui for a true island wedding with sunsets over the sea. Choose Chiang Mai or Khao Yai for cool evenings, mountains and gardens. Each card below opens the venues we have filmed in that region and links to our full guide for it.

Bangkok wedding venues

What are the best wedding venues in Bangkok?

The best wedding venues in Bangkok are the luxury hotels on the Chao Phraya River — Four Seasons, The Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental, Capella, Anantara Riverside and Shangri-La — and the city hotels with large ballrooms for Indian weddings, such as Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, Anantara Siam, Siam Kempinski and InterContinental Bangkok. For a Thai ceremony, W Bangkok, U Sathorn and Shangri-La’s garden work well; for a Hindu temple wedding there is Dev Mandir Temple. We have photographed and filmed weddings at the 25 Bangkok venues below.

Riverside hotels give you the skyline at night, a boat arrival and outdoor terraces for the ceremony. City hotels on Sukhumvit, Ratchadamri and Sathorn give you the biggest ballrooms, which matters for a sangeet or a reception of 300 guests. Small and intimate weddings in Bangkok work best at garden venues such as The Botanical House, or on a hotel rooftop for a proposal. If you want a beach, the nearest real beach venues are in Hua Hin and Pattaya, covered in the next section.

Bangkok is the one destination with no travel fee: a one-day wedding in the city is covered from 20,000 THB for photos (4 hours, 2 photographers) and 30,000 THB for film. See our Bangkok wedding photographer guide, our list of wedding planners in Bangkok and the pre-wedding locations in Bangkok.

Beach wedding venues near Bangkok

Which beach wedding venues near Bangkok have we filmed?

The closest beach wedding venues to Bangkok are in Pattaya (1.5–2 hours by road), Hua Hin and Cha-am (2.5–3 hours) and Rayong (2.5–3 hours). Guests fly into Bangkok and transfer by car or van, with no second flight. Hua Hin has the most beachfront resorts we have worked at — 24 — from Sheraton and SO/ Sofitel to Dusit Thani and The Palayana, most of them hosting multi-day Indian weddings. Pattaya’s InterContinental, Centara Grand Mirage and Pullman host Sikh and Indian weddings; Rayong Marriott is the quiet choice. Our travel fee for all three is 5,000 THB per team.

Hua Hin & Cha-am wedding venues

Hua Hin is Thailand’s royal beach town, 2.5–3 hours south-west of Bangkok. Its resorts line a long, calm beach, with lawns for a mandap and ballrooms for the sangeet, and the best months are November to February. These are the Hua Hin and Cha-am venues where we have photographed or filmed a wedding:

Pattaya wedding venues

Pattaya is the fastest beach to reach from Suvarnabhumi Airport: 1.5–2 hours by road. The resort beaches at Pratumnak, Wong Amat and Na Jomtien are quieter than the town, and the big resorts host 3–4 day Indian and Sikh weddings. Venues we have filmed at:

Island & Andaman wedding venues

Which island wedding venues in Thailand have we filmed?

Thailand’s island wedding venues are split between the Andaman coast — Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi and Koh Lanta, best from November to April — and Koh Samui in the Gulf, best from January to April and June to September. Phuket has the widest choice of resorts and villas. Khao Lak is quieter and built for 3-day Indian weddings at JW Marriott, AVANI+ and Khao Lak Marriott. Krabi has Rayavadee under the Railay cliffs and Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. Koh Samui is the villa island, with Baan Kilee, Baan Puri and YL Residence on the west coast. We fly our team from Bangkok; the travel fee is 10,000 THB per team for Phuket, Krabi and Koh Lanta, and 14,000 THB (photo) plus 21,000 THB (film) for Koh Samui and Khao Lak.

Phuket wedding venues

Phuket is Thailand’s biggest wedding island, about 1.5 hours by plane from Bangkok. The west coast beaches — Mai Khao, Nai Yang, Bang Tao, Kamala, Karon — face the sunset, and the resorts range from JW Marriott and Angsana Laguna for large Indian weddings to Rosewood and COMO Point Yamu for Western couples. Venues we have photographed or filmed at:

Prices, films and planning tips: Phuket wedding guide →

Khao Lak & Phang Nga wedding venues

Khao Lak is 1–1.5 hours by road north of Phuket airport: long, quiet west-facing beaches and big beachfront resorts a few steps apart, which is why most of the weddings we film here are Indian weddings over two or three days. Phang Nga Bay and Koh Hong are a boat ride away for pre-wedding shoots. Venues we have filmed at:

Prices, films and planning tips: Khao Lak & Phang Nga wedding guide →

Krabi wedding venues

Krabi is 1.5 hours by plane from Bangkok. Limestone cliffs rise straight out of the sea at Railay, and the resorts on Klong Muang and Tubkaek face west for sunset ceremonies. Venues we have filmed at:

Prices, films and planning tips: Krabi wedding guide →

Koh Lanta wedding venues

Koh Lanta is Krabi’s quiet island, about two hours by road and car ferry from the airport. Pimalai Resort & Spa on Kantiang Bay is the venue we know best. Venues we have filmed at:

Prices, films and planning tips: Koh Lanta wedding guide →

Koh Samui wedding venues

Koh Samui is about 1 hour by plane from Bangkok, with Bangkok Airways flights straight to the island. Most of the weddings we film here are Western villa weddings on the west coast at Lipa Noi and Taling Ngam, where the sun sets over the Five Islands. Venues we have filmed at:

Mountain & northern wedding venues

Which wedding venues in northern Thailand and the hills have we filmed?

For a wedding away from the beach, Chiang Mai has Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai among the rice terraces, Veranda High Resort with its infinity pool facing the mountains, and Anantara Chiang Mai on the river. Chiang Rai has Le Méridien Chiang Rai Resort on the Kok River. Khao Yai, 2.5–3 hours from Bangkok by road, has Mövenpick Resort Khao Yai for Indian weddings and a national park for pre-wedding shoots. The cool season from November to February is the time to go.

Compare destinations

How do Thailand’s wedding destinations compare?

Bangkok is the easiest for guests and has no travel fee. Hua Hin, Pattaya and Rayong are beach resorts within three hours by road. Phuket, Krabi, Koh Lanta and Khao Lak are the Andaman destinations, best from November to April; Koh Samui is the Gulf island, best from January to April and June to September. Chiang Mai and Khao Yai are the cool-season mountain choices.

Best Thailand venues for an Indian wedding

Most of the Indian weddings we film run over two or three days at one resort, with a haldi in the garden, a baraat along the lawn, pheras at a mandap facing the sea and a sangeet or reception at night. The venues where we have done this most often are JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa and AVANI+ Khao Lak, Sheraton Hua Hin, SO/ Sofitel Hua Hin and The Palayana Hua Hin, InterContinental Pattaya, Angsana Laguna Phuket and JW Marriott Phuket, Phulay Bay in Krabi, and Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park in the city. Indian packages cover photo and film for 2–3 days from 220,000 THB; see our Indian wedding packages and Hindu wedding portfolio.

Venues for a small or intimate wedding

For 2 to 40 guests, private villas and small resorts work better than hotel ballrooms. On Koh Samui we have filmed villa weddings at Baan Kilee, Baan Puri, Praana Residence and YL Residence. In Hua Hin, Veranda Resort, The Yana Villas and Devasom host small beach weddings; in Pattaya, Sea Sand Sun Resort and Cape Dara; in Rayong, a beachfront café. In Bangkok, The Botanical House is a garden venue for a Western-style wedding. For a wedding of 2–20 guests we quote a custom price — email [email protected]. See our Western wedding portfolio.

For the mountains: Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, Veranda High Resort Chiang Mai and Mövenpick Resort Khao Yai. All of these are venues where we have filmed real weddings.

Which hotels are the best luxury wedding venues in Bangkok?

On the river: Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, The Peninsula Bangkok, Mandarin Oriental, Capella Bangkok, Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort, Shangri-La Bangkok and The Siam. In the city: Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, Anantara Siam, Siam Kempinski, InterContinental Bangkok, The Athenee Hotel, Aman Nai Lert, Waldorf Astoria and The Sukhothai. For a Thai ceremony, W Bangkok and U Sathorn; for a garden wedding, The Botanical House. We have photographed or filmed weddings, engagements or proposals at every one of them.

Is there a beach wedding venue near Bangkok?

Yes. Pattaya is 1.5–2 hours from Bangkok by road, with beach resorts such as InterContinental Pattaya, Centara Grand Mirage and Sea Sand Sun. Hua Hin and Cha-am are 2.5–3 hours away, with Sheraton Hua Hin, SO/ Sofitel, Dusit Thani, AVANI+, Anantara and more than twenty other resorts we have filmed at. Rayong Marriott is 2.5–3 hours away on a quieter coast. Our travel fee for all of them is 5,000 THB per team.

Which Thailand wedding venues are best for an Indian wedding?

Resorts with a lawn for the mandap, a ballroom for the sangeet and enough rooms for both families at one property: JW Marriott Khao Lak, AVANI+ Khao Lak and Khao Lak Marriott in Phang Nga; Sheraton Hua Hin, SO/ Sofitel Hua Hin, The Palayana and AVANI+ Hua Hin; InterContinental Pattaya and Pullman Pattaya Hotel G; Angsana Laguna Phuket and JW Marriott Phuket; Phulay Bay and Sofitel Krabi; and in Bangkok, Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, Anantara Siam and Siam Kempinski. Our Indian wedding packages cover 2–3 days of photo and film from 220,000 THB.

What is the best time of year for a wedding in Thailand?

November to February is the cool, dry season for Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya, Khao Yai and Chiang Mai. The Andaman coast — Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi, Koh Lanta — is dry from November to April and has its monsoon from May to October. Koh Samui in the Gulf is driest from January to April and again from June to September, with its wettest weather in October and November. Whatever the month, choose a venue with an indoor backup for the ceremony.

How much does a destination wedding photographer cost in Thailand?

Wedding photos start at 20,000 THB for 4 hours with 2 photographers in Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya and Rayong, and at 30,000 THB for 6 hours on the islands and in Chiang Mai. Film starts at 30,000 THB in Bangkok and 45,000 THB at destinations; photo and film together start at 75,000 THB. Travel from Bangkok is free in the city, 5,000 THB per team near Bangkok, 10,000 THB per team for Phuket, Krabi, Koh Lanta and Chiang Mai, and 14,000 THB for the photo team plus 21,000 THB for the film team for Koh Samui and Khao Lak. Indian weddings start at 220,000 THB for 2 days.

Do you travel to every wedding venue in Thailand?

Yes. We are based in Bangkok and fly or drive to every destination on this page. Travel and accommodation for the team are added to the quote: free for a one-day wedding in Bangkok, 5,000 THB per team for Hua Hin, Cha-am, Pattaya and Rayong, 10,000 THB per team for Phuket, Krabi, Koh Lanta, Chiang Mai and Koh Chang, and 14,000 THB (photo team) plus 21,000 THB (film team) for Koh Samui, Koh Phi Phi, Khao Lak and Phang Nga. Khao Yai and Chiang Rai are quoted per wedding.

How do we choose a wedding venue in Thailand?

Start with the season and the coast: Andaman resorts for November to April, Koh Samui for January to April or June to September, Bangkok and Hua Hin for November to February. Then check how your guests will get there — by road from Bangkok, or with a second flight. Ask the venue for an indoor backup, the sunset direction for your ceremony, whether a mandap, fire ceremony or drone is allowed, and how many rooms both families need. Then send us the shortlist: if we have worked at the venue, we can tell you how the day usually runs there.

How far ahead should we book a venue and a photographer?

Popular resorts and the dry-season weekends go first, so many of our couples book 6–12 months ahead, and multi-day Indian weddings earlier still. Once you have a date and a venue, send them to us and we will hold the date with a deposit.

Can we get legally married in Thailand?

Yes. A legal marriage in Thailand is registered at a district office (amphur), and foreign couples normally need an affirmation of freedom to marry from their embassy, translated into Thai and legalised, before the registration. Many of our couples do the legal paperwork at home and hold the ceremony in Thailand. We are photographers, not lawyers, so confirm the current requirements with your embassy in Bangkok.

Which venues are good for a small or intimate wedding?

Private villas and small resorts: Baan Kilee, Baan Puri, Praana Residence and YL Residence on Koh Samui; Veranda Resort, The Yana Villas and Devasom in Hua Hin; Sea Sand Sun Resort and Cape Dara in Pattaya; a beachfront café in Rayong; and The Botanical House garden venue in Bangkok. For a wedding of 2–20 guests that needs only 2 cinematographers, email [email protected] for a custom price.

Can you film with a drone at Thailand wedding venues?

Yes, if your venue allows it — most beach resorts do with notice, and some city hotels and national parks do not. Drone footage is 5,000 THB extra.

Can our family abroad watch the wedding live?

Yes. Our live streaming team can stream your ceremony for family who cannot travel, as we have done at Capella Bangkok, The Sukhothai, InterContinental Pattaya, YL Residence Samui and Le Méridien Khao Lak.

Do you work in English?

Yes. We work in English and Thai, and most of our couples fly in from abroad.
