Wedding ceremony in Thai style includes two ceremonies: a blessing from Buddhist monks and the wedding ritual "Rot Nam Song".
The blessing ceremony from Buddhist monks traditionally takes place after lunch, and the venue on Samui is a picturesque temple complex that amazes with its color and bright colors.

They will connect the image of Buddha and the couple with a white thread, thereby uniting two destinies into a union of love. And after the ceremony, the couple will have a photo shoot on the territory of the temple complex.
In the afternoon, a ritual is performed on the beach "Rot Nam Song", which is an important part of the Thai wedding ceremony. A silk tent and special furniture for the ceremony are set up on the coast. During the ritual, the couple is seated on special poufs, and each of the guests pours water from a vessel with lotus petals onto their hands in turn, while the guests wish the couple well-being and happiness in their life together.
