Phuket is the best location for large destination weddings in Thailand
I photograph destination weddings all over Southeast Asia, but I spend the majority of my time as a Phuket wedding photographer – it’s where I shoot the greatest number of events each year. And when I say Phuket, I’m including Khao Lak and Phang Nga, which are just up the coast from the island.
5 reasons why Phuket is a great choice for a destination wedding
- Phuket has its own international airport, making it very easy to get to.
- Having a wedding in Phuket means most guests will spend at least one night in Bangkok. And who doesn’t love one night in Bangkok?
- Thai food is great.
- There are hundreds of fantastic hotels and villas to choose from for your wedding venue.
- From ladyboy cabaret to snorkeling off a catamaran, there’s a ton of activities for guests before the wedding day

Best Phuket Wedding Planners
Maybe most importantly, Phuket is home to some of the very best wedding planners in Thailand, if not all of Asia. As a Phuket wedding photographer nothing makes my life easier than working with a great wedding planner. I’ve been lucky to work with all of these teams many times, and they are all incredible at organizing destination weddings in Phuket.
