Thai Style Wedding/Buddhist Wedding Ceremony

Thai style wedding/Buddhist wedding ceremony in Koh Samui, Phuket, Chang.

A vibrant and memorable Thai-style wedding ceremony is a wedding held according to all Buddhist traditions, including a blessing from Buddhist monks and the sacred "Rot Nam Song" ceremony. This wedding option is an ideal choice for couples who want to immerse themselves in the culture of Taland, whose origins date back to the magnificent Kingdom of Siam.

A Thai-style ceremony is suitable for couples of any faith and age; it's also an excellent choice for married couples looking to renew their union.

If it's a wedding  European-style ceremoniesWhile we're all familiar with the romantic and classic wedding ceremonies, a Thai-style wedding ceremony is radically different from our usual ideas about weddings.

A mandatory component of a Thai-style wedding ceremony is a blessing from Buddhist monks, which takes place in Thailand's most picturesque temple complexes. During the ceremony, monks recite prayers and mantras intended to unite the couple on a spiritual level. Using a white thread, the monks connect the bride and groom to the image of Buddha, passing the thread through their hands, thus uniting the lovers in a union of love!

After the monks' blessing, the couple undergoes the Rot Nam Song ceremony, which translates as "large seashell." This Thai wedding ceremony is the key act of the wedding and is considered the most important.

The bride and groom are seated kneeling next to each other on a small platform or special ottomans. Guests take turns pouring water from a seashell onto the newlyweds' hands, which are folded in the Thai greeting, wishing them a happy married life. The water is taken from a cup containing floating lotus petals, which symbolize the continuation of the family line in Buddhism.

The unique atmosphere of a Thai wedding ceremony is created by colorful wedding dresses made of silk, as well as an incomparable Long Drum Procession — a procession of Thai dancers and musicians who accompany the couple to the place where the "Rot Nam Song" ceremony is held.
