Thailand
One of the Most Beautiful Places to Elope in the World
Thailand is a no-brainer for couples dreaming of an incredible wedding that blends adventure travel with wild scenery, rich culture, and effortless hospitality. If you’re looking for a truly unique elopement destination and one of the best places to get married in the world, Thailand delivers everything from jungle waterfalls to turquoise coves and towering limestone cliffs—plus adventurous private beaches that are perfect for a “just the two of us wedding” or intimate micro-celebrations with a handful of loved ones. Below is your guide to a Thailand elopement that feels epic yet uncomplicated.
Planning a Destination Wedding:
Thinking of a destination wedding in Asia? Here are a few things to consider:• Choose your vibe. Do you picture an adventure elopement on a jungle ridge, a beautiful beach wedding at sunset, or a wild wedding with elephants and stunning waterfalls surrounding you?
• Symbolic vs. legal. Many couples handle the legal paperwork at home and enjoy a symbolic marriage ceremony in Thailand. If you want to complete your marriage in Thailand, the elopement process requires a trip to your embassy, some paperwork, and a visit to a Thai district office to have the marriage legally registered; it’s totally doable, but symbolic is simplest.
• Best time to get married. Thailand’s dry season (roughly November–April) is peak for a winter elopement with blue skies. May–October can be lush and dramatic with tropical showers—great for moody elopement photos and quieter beaches.
• Ethical experiences. If you’re dreaming of a wedding with elephants, choose sanctuaries that prioritize rescue and observation (no riding), and plan any interaction as a pre- or post-ceremony visit. We partner with Chai Lai Orchard for couples who choose to work with us!
• Vendors who get it. Look for a destination wedding planner who specializes in adventure weddings and Thailand destination wedding packages, and hire a badass photographer who knows how to work with salt spray, cliff light, and long-tail boats so your elopement photos turn out EPIC.
