Koh Samui has to be one of the top destinations for a warm wedding, a great place to experience and don’t forget re-visiting for those anniversaries.
Why get married in Koh Samui
First and foremost, the chances of rain sleet and snow are almost zero! You do of course need to choose the right part of the year, but compare that to and English spring or summer planned wedding! You just never know.
Secondly its so memorable, for you your family and your friends. Many people complain that their friends cannot afford it and this is quite understandable, but it is Your Day”, not theirs. Plan in advance and set up a regime whereby everybody can plan for a holiday and the big day!
