In fact, it’s very easy to get married in Thailand, making it a perfect place for a destination wedding. Many resorts and hotels have wedding packages and will help you plan your event, but know that whatever ceremony you choose will not legally bind you in marriage. You must also register your union with the district office (similar to a city hall) in whatever province in Thailand you have your ceremony for it to be legal. To legally tie the knot in Thailand, you will need your passport and a letter of certification, issued by your embassy or consulate, that certifies that your current marital status. Hotels and resorts that offer weddings will be able to assist you with these formalities, and most embassies are already familiar with the documentation necessary.
