Weddings

Phuket is proving to be a popular destination for romantic, exotic weddings. This is due, at least in part, to the relative ease with which foreigners can get married in Thailand. In most cases, your hotel can arrange for all legal formalities and provide you with documentation suitable for your marriage to be recognized in your home country, although complete documentation may require a stay in Bangkok for up to a week.

If you're considering a Phuket wedding, the first question you're probably asking is "Where?" Most hotels have wedding or honeymoon packages, but the ones listed below have been recommended by some trusted sources.

Amanpuri Resort Phuket

Probably the very top end of resorts on Phuket, but all reports are that it's worth the price.

Andaman White Beach Resort

Excellent value for money resort on the less crowded northern end of the island.

Trisara Phuket Villas & Residences

With private villas on offer and a short drive to a world class golf course, Trisara has a little something for everyone.

Laguna Phuket for Weddings

Laguna Phuket is a large integrated resort comprising five distinctive properties, each with their own style, and built around a lagoon created from an old open pit tin mine. Guests of any one of the properties can use the facilities of all the resorts, and sign for any costs to their room. Among the many facilities of the Laguna resort is a wedding chapel set on the lagoon and combining western with Thai styles.

The hotels making up the Laguna Phuket resort are listed below. You can reserve rooms directly through the links below, or, if you require 10 or more rooms for your wedding party, you're advised to contact the hotels directly to get the very best rates. While any of these properties would make a good base for a wedding party, our choice for the honeymoon would definitely be the private pool villas of the Banyan Tree.

Banyan Tree Phuket

Banyan Tree was the first resort to introduce the private pool villa concept to Phuket. The resort is still a top choice for couples looking for privacy.

Dusit Thani Laguna Hotel

This sprawling beachfront branch of the Thai-based luxury chain is one of the best-placed of the Laguna properties.

Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas

The Outrigger is also a family or group option, with two and three bedroom townhouses available.
