15 couples from France have tied the knot in a traditional Lanna Thai ceremony held in Chiang Mai Thailand as part of an event organised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and Thai Airways International.

Wedding invitations to get married in Thailand were part of a campaign undertaken in France to attract the weddings and honeymoon market. The ceremonies took place at the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi in Chiang Mai in June

Known as the Rose of the North, Chiang Mai was chosen for this campaign because it is the cultural and tourism centre of Northern Thailand. Although it has undergone considerable economic development, it still retains its historic heritage of hill tribes, wood-carving factories and the country’s largest village of traditional handicrafts, as well as the famous umbrella-painters. It is also becoming increasingly well-known as a centre of traditional Thai massage, meditation, spas, health and wellness.

TAT invited couples to get married in Thailand through its French-language website. Interested couples who flew Thai Airways International for their wedding were provided with sponsored accommodation, transportation, a Thai wedding party in Lanna style.

The TAT invited along some French celebrities, such as top super model, Ms. Melanie Rodriguez.

The wedding couples arrived at Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi Hotel on 18 June and were given a detailed briefing of the programme and various arrangements. The wedding ceremony took place the following day. On 20 June, the newly-weds enjoyed visits to the renowned Thai elephant sanctuary “Mae Tang River Camp.”

The couples also experienced the Thai Orchid school, in a Thai cooking class, and enjoyed an Aromatherapy Hot Oil Massage.

After the wedding ceremony, TAT invited two celebrity couples to honeymoon in Samui.
In recent years, Thailand has become one of the world’s most popular travel destinations for weddings and honeymoons. Many couples choose Thailand because they wish to get married in a land renowned for its sense of grace and style, following customs and ceremonies with rich roots in Buddhist culture. The secluded, all-inclusive resorts are perfect for honeymoons.

Wedding planners — either independent or affiliated with tourist hotels and resorts — offer highly personalised services in choosing and arranging the most appropriate activities and events for each client’s taste and budget, such as traditional Thai wedding costumes and ceremonies or more contemporary, custom-designed events.

As a destination wedding photographer, I have travelled to Thailand many times.
