Thailand isn’t just Bangkok or Chiangmai, there’re lots more places to visit! Whether you’re picturing a barefoot beach ceremony or a dramatic pre-wedding shoot among ancient ruins, this country has it all. Here are five stunning locations to say “I do” (or just look really good doing it).
1. Koh Samui
White sand. Turquoise sea. Sunset views that’ll stop time. Koh Samui is a favourite for beach weddings and luxury honeymoon escapes. With plenty of high-end resorts and private villas, it’s easy to plan a seamless wedding with epic ocean backdrops.
Best for: Beach ceremonies, villa receptions, barefoot love stories.
Pro tip: Consider a sunrise shoot for calm beaches and soft, golden light.
2. Chiang Mai
Northern charm wrapped in misty mountains
Lush greenery, peaceful temples, and a slower rhythm, Chiang Mai is the soul of northern Thailand. Imagine exchanging vows in a traditional teakwood house, or capturing love among rice paddies and hidden waterfalls. There’s romance in the air (and a bit of jungle too).
Best for: Nature lovers, culture seekers, cooler-weather weddings.
Pro tip: Winter months (Nov–Feb) are cool, clear, and ideal for outdoor shoots.
3. Bangkok
Urban edge with cultural depth
Who says a city can’t be romantic? Bangkok is a dazzling mix of ancient and modern. Think rooftop ceremonies overlooking the skyline, luxury hotel ballrooms, or golden temples at sunrise. The energy of the city makes every moment feel cinematic.
Best for: Glamorous couples, modern elopements, stylish pre-wedding shoots.
Pro tip: Book a riverside location or rooftop venue for best light and view.
4. Krabi & Railay Bay
Drama, cliffs, and castaway vibes
Accessible only by long-tail boat, Railay feels like a secret island. Limestone cliffs tower over turquoise water, and soft sands stretch beneath swaying palms. It’s the definition of wild romance, and your photos will look like they’re straight out of a movie.
Best for: Adventurous couples, intimate weddings, epic engagement photos.
Pro tip: Avoid high tide for beach shoots, sunset low tide is perfection.
5. Phuket
Everything in one romantic island
Phuket is a crowd-pleaser, with reason. You’ve got quiet coves, busy beaches, lush jungles, luxury resorts, and vibrant nightlife all in one place. It’s great for destination weddings with family and friends flying in, and easy to customize to your style.
Best for: Big weddings, full-service venues, honeymoon and party combos.
Pro tip: Consider a beach wedding in Kamala or Cape Panwa for a more private feel.
