Following last year’s well-received Chiang Mai wedding event, the Tourism Authority of Thailand is once again offering 50 spots this year to invite couples to hold beach weddings on Koh Samui. The wedding will take place on February 24, in collaboration with several travel agencies such as Shih Hsing, Lion Travel, and Southeast Travel, presenting a 5-day, 4-night itinerary that includes a traditional Thai wedding on Koh Samui. All attire, ceremony activities, and meals on the wedding day are free, but participants need to cover the travel agency package costs, which range from approximately NT$28,000 to NT$34,000.

This year, Thailand has chosen weddings as a key theme to promote tourism, aiming to invite couples from around the world to experience traditional Thai weddings. The Tourism Authority of Thailand has selected February 24 for Taiwanese couples to tie the knot. All participating couples can enjoy an authentic Thai wedding experience, including a bridal procession, blessings from monks, a traditional local lunch, and taking sweet Thai-style wedding photos on the beach. The full cost of the wedding is usually around 50,000 Thai baht, but now it's completely free. Couples dreaming of an overseas wedding while looking to save money may want to consider joining.
