I have been lucky enough to be invited to a Traditional Thai Wedding in November, which is why I am staying longer in Thailand than I planned.
Congratulations to the happy couple, and may they be blessed with many, many happy years together.
Pre-wedding dinner
A group of us set off from Bangkok and endured several hours of traffic to reach Pranburi late in the evening. After quickly checking into our beautiful guest bungalows, we headed to the bride’s family home for dinner. There, we enjoyed many courses of delicious Thai food served in the garden, creating a charming and local atmosphere.
Many courses of truly amazing Thai food was served around the garden of the family home, making it a quite local affair.
After a hearty meal, we returned to the guest house and quickly changed. Then, we bought a few beers and headed to the beach. This seems to be a common activity in Thailand, as many friends and families gather by the sea to enjoy a meal and drinks together while relaxing by the shore or roadside.
Which seems a regular Thai thing to do here in that many friends or families head to the sea and sit and enjoy a meal and a few drinks with each other relaxing by the beach or road.
The Wedding day
The following morning a very early wake up meant we were fully dressed and attendees again at the brides family house for 8 am to watch the festivities begin.
Drinking whisky and beer so early on a Sunday was a different experience and one I took time to appreciate as it was roughly 30 degrees by 8.30 and very hot.
Thank goodness for my Hat 🤣
The wedding carried on for most of the day, with many more dishes being served and our own waitress serving our table with drinks managed to keep us cool 🖕
Mui 🙂 What can I say, Thank you so much for the invite I had the best time ever and thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend.
Wishing you and your husband much happiness for the future😃
