BANGKOK – Thailand’s status as a wedding destination is being strengthened by the project “Thailand Wedding Destiny” which the Tourism Authority of Thailand(TAT) in invited nine couples from nine countries to get married in specially arranged ceremonies both on the beach and in an ancient Thai capital. The special events started in Bangkok yesterday for all couples with a romantic dinner cruise down the Chao Phraya River, and each couple will then fly to their dream wedding venues to tie the knot.
The “Thailand Wedding Destiny” project under the campaign “Amazing Romance in Thailand” was launched in November 2016, by TAT in collaboration with Bangkok Airways and leading Thai wedding organisers. Aimed at showing Thailand’s massive potential as a world-class wedding destination, the campaign invited nine lucky couples from the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, the UK, France, Czech Republic, Australia, the US, and Brazil to get married in four Thai cities – Ko Samui, Phuket, Krabi, and Sukhothai. The ceremonies will be either traditionally Thai or Western, depending on the venue and the couples’ wishes.
