Honeymooning in Thailand

by caleb Posted on

Thailand has a bounty of beautiful places ideal for romantic excursions, making it difficult to choose between them. Here are, however, four of the finest locales.

Koh Lipe

This beautiful island is affectionately referred to as the ‘Maldives of Thailand’, because of its lush tropical splendour. The island’s beauty is no surprise since it is situated along the border of Tarutao National Park. The surrounding waters are home to a quarter of the world’s tropical fish.

Koh Phi Phi

Not only is this one of the most spectacular landscapes Thailand has to offer, but also a national hallmark. It was famously featured in The Beach starring Leonardo Di Caprio.

Koh Samui

This is the second largest of Thailand’s islands, and one of the most tourist-oriented. There’s no shortage of romance here, since wedding venues in Koh Samui are plentiful, as well as luxury resorts such as Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort.

Koh Lanta

This is part of an archipelago that features 52 islands and offers a bounty of experiences. At the very least, there are several beaches, a selection of kaleidoscopic coral reefs, and serene seclusion far from the ‘party islands’ of Thailand. If you’re looking for a place where you and your partner can share a tranquil and exciting tropical adventure, then Koh Lanta is definitely a place worthy of consideration.

Maldives Wedding Guide

by roland Posted on

Romantics have found that the white sandy beaches, blue crystalline waters and balmy tropical weather of the Maldives make the ideal backdrop to the wedding ceremony of their dreams.

Before arriving in the Maldives

Before falling for the idea of having a Maldives island wedding, a great deal of research needs to be done on what it entails. There can be no legal ceremony here only a blessing. Therefore the civil ceremony will have to take place in the home country. How and where the honeymoon is to be spent should also be decided at the planning stage.

The Ceremony

Exchanging vows and rings under an arch of flowers on a romantic location around the resort island before family and friends is preferred way to conduct the ceremony. Although how the couple is to arrive at the ceremony can be decided on later, it is in a decorated buggy, in a traditional boat, escorted by drummers or walking down a petal-strewn path.

There’s a myriad of event venues in Singapore in hotels such as Park Hotel Alexandra.

This is also the time to decide on the type of celebration, whether it is going to be a wedding breakfast, an afternoon event or an evening reception with dinner and dancing and whether the ambience will tend towards the casual or formal.

Special services

Special services include providing party favours for guests, printing and sending out wedding invitations, wedding gifts for the couple and discounted room rates for family and friends, a tea ceremony in the bridal suite and a food tasting for a party of ten prior to menu selection.
