You are invited to compare what we, offer with what others destination or overseas tour operators offer for "Thai" weddings, as we feel we are the best choice offering real Thai weddings. Others offer mostly "hotel theme weddings parties" and not socially and religiously proper Thai weddings or legal registration of the wedding without excessive surcharges.
