HOW TO ELOPE IN THAILAND
Thailand wedding & elopement photographer
All about your Thailand elopement photographer:
I am a Georgia born and Colorado living girl, who has a heart for the nations and traveling. The summer before my senior year of college, I bought a one way ticket to Thailand and ended up staying for almost 6 months. I lived in Southern Thailand, where tourism isn’t really an issue, and I was able to see all the beauty this country truly has to offer.
Being one of few foreigners in the area I lived in, I was really able to dive into the Thai culture and way of life. And man, let me tell you, buying a ticket home was the HARDEST thing ever. I never wanted to leave. I even was able to slowly pick up on the Thai language. It is the most difficult language I have EVER tried to learn, but so worth it once you do. Thailand will forever have a piece of my heart, and I would love to share that piece with you and your love.
How to plan your Thailand Elopement:
PICK YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER: LET ME TELL YOU, FINDING A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO KNOWS THE AREA IS SO FREAKING IMPORTANT, BUT ALSO WHEN ELOPING OVER SEAS, FINDING A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO UNDERSTANDS THE LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW THINGS DIFFERENT ABOUT THAI CULTURE THAT NOT EVERYONE KNOWS, SO LUCKILY YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PAGE IN FINDING SOMEONE WHO DOES!
2. PICK YOUR TIME OF YEAR AND DATE. THAILANDS SUMMER, WELL IS GORGEOUS, BUT WHEN THEY SAY MONSOON SEASON, THEY FREAKING MEAN IT. DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY, IT RAINS SO FREAKING MUCH AND A LOT OF THINGS FLOOD. IT ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A HUGE TOURISM PEAK AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF MONSOON SEASON, SO TRY TO PLAN AROUND THAT!
3. PICK YOUR LOCATION. THAILAND HAS SO MANY FREAKING STUNNING THINGS TO DO AND SEE, FROM ROCKY BEACHES TO BLACK SAND BEACHES, TO MOUNTAIN COAST LINES, TO DEEP IN THE FOREST, THAILAND HAS IT ALL. YOU CAN COUNT ON ME TO GIVE YOU A COMPLETE LIST OF DETAILED LOCATIONS AND IDEAS IF YOU INQUIRE WITH ME!
4. TAKE CARE OF THE LEGAL STUFF AT HOME! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING LEGALLY MARRIED BEFORE YOUR THAILAND ELOPEMENT. YOU WOULD MUCH RATHER TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THAT NOW RATHER THAN WORRYING ABOUT IT ON YOUR TRIP. HEAD TO YOUR LOCAL COURT HOUSE AND GET MARRIED, TELL NO ONE, AND THEN READ LETTERS OR VOWS TO ONE ANOTHER INSTEAD OF DOING A CEREMONY.
5.PACK YOUR BAGS & HEAD TO THAILAND!
What to pack for your elopement in Thailand:
rain jacket, umbrella, bug spray, and rain flip flops that can get trashed
sunscreen
extra socks and shoes
a camera/extra batteries
a converter for the wall outlets
plenty of deodorant as it gets super hot and humid, i mean H-O-T
A small wallet to keep in your front pocket so you do not have to worry about it getting lost or stolen!
snacks that you are going to miss as Thai snack are completely different!
Best places to stay for your Thailand elopement
Where to elope in Thailand
ON THE BEACHES OF ONE OF THAILANDS MANY BEAUTIFUL ONES. CHOOSE FROM BLACK SAND BEACHES TO ROCKY BEACHES TOWERED BY MOUNTAINS AND HUGE CLIFFS.
ON THE CLIFFSIDE OVERLOOKING THE WATER. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY GORGEOUS CLIFFS TO EVEN COUNT.
IN THE FOREST AMONGST ALL THE GORGEOUS WILD FLOWERS AND WILD LIFE THAT WILL SURROUND YOU. RICE FIELDS, OR FERN FOREST, THAILAND HAS IT ALL.
IN A MONKEY SANCTUARY. YEP YOU HEARD ME, YOU COULD BE SURROUNDED BY MONKEYS ON YOUR ELOPEMENT DAY, AND BE HANGING OUT WITH ONE OF THE CUTEST ANIMALS EVER.
IN THE MOUNTAINS, THAILAND HAS SOME GORGEOUS MOUNTAIN RANGES THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE TAKE THE TIME TO EXPLORE, THEY ARE BREAH TAKING AND RESEMBLE THE ONES YOU CAN FIND IN NEPAL.
HANGING WITH ELEPHANTS FOR THE DAY WHILE ELOPING, COUNT ME IN. JUST MAKE SURE TO PICK A GOOD SAFE ELEPHANT SANCTUARY AND NOT ONE THAT HARMS THEM!
