Food : : If you a pure vegetarian, you can get food as per your liking and taste. Many hotels in Thailand do not have Indian chefs and hence it is tough to get Indian food at all times, but these days many hotels / resorts have hired qualified and experienced Indian chefs to cater to Indian groups and hence you can be assured that your guests will enjoy all kind of cuisines with great taste and presentation. From samosa to dosa, from chole bhature to dhokla, from gol gappe to dal makhni,.. you get all arranged for your wedding. You just have to find the right chef team to ensure good quality food. Ask your wedding planner to do that for you. If he/ she is experienced he would be able to arrange a good team to suit your taste and budget.
Logistics : : All other arrangements for the wedding like mehndi wali, make up artists , hair stylist team, pandit ji, photographers , dhol wala’s etc all can be arranged locally and hence saving a huge amount which otherwise would have been spent on travel from India.
Cost : : Each wedding is customized and hence the cost package can be derived only after understanding the number of days / number of functions / number of people / wedding date / category of hotel / food to be served / décor requirements / etc… A lot is discussed before coming to an estimation figure for the entire wedding. With a strong experience for wedding planners like www.weddingsinthailand.in it would be rather easy to give you a figure with just some details. They have done many big weddings in Thailand and are well versed with the entire country. Major cost of the wedding goes into the stay and food arrangement which basically will depend on the season or off-season time in Thailand. Do remember that there are many festivals / Chinese new year / etc that are celebrated in Thailand and hence the hotels are expensive during those days. Other than that, the beach locations enjoy a peak season from Nov to Jan end each year.
