Thailand crowned the most popular wedding destination for Indians in 2025!

More and more couples from India are choosing Thailand as their wedding destination. Recently, the Kingdom was awarded the Most Popular International Wedding Destination Award 2025 at the TTJ MICE Mart & Awards in New Delhi. This not only proves the enduring popularity of Thailand, but also the excellent conditions that the country offers for weddings. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has once again established itself as a leader in the industry and plans to further consolidate its reputation. TATNews reports that over 27 categories were represented at the awards ceremony, with the strong presence of Indian weddings in Thailand particularly highlighted.

A large number of weddings, over 400 per year, already take place in exquisite surroundings. Indian couples appreciate the unique combination of traditional ceremonies and the exotic flair of the host country. Popular wedding locations include not only the vibrant cities of Bangkok and Phuket, but also picturesque Hua Hin. There, couples can find the perfect setting for their multi-day celebrations. The Travel and Tour World highlights that luxury hotels offer bespoke services tailored to the specific needs of Indian weddings.

Tradition meets luxury

Indian weddings in Thailand are more than just a celebration – they are a fusion of tradition and modern luxury. Thai hospitality is valued by Indian wedding guests, who often spend several days in Bangkok or Phuket to enjoy not only the celebrations but also the country's culture and offerings. The Thai cuisine, exquisite menus and event design are often developed in collaboration with top Indian and Thai chefs. EventPlanner describes how weddings are often characterized by multi-day celebrations, Bollywood entertainment and vegetarian feasts, sober and lively at the same time.

The Thai Indian Weddings Association (TIWA) plays an important role in promoting these events in Thailand. Initiatives such as the Masala Wedding Fair in Bangkok promote exchange between cultures. Despite its increasing popularity, Thailand also faces challenges such as overtourism, prompting the TAT to focus more on sustainable tourism initiatives to manage the increase in weddings in a healthy manner.

Looking into the future

With Indian couples showing high interest in weddings in Thailand, the outlook for this sector is extremely positive. TAT plans to continue to develop innovative concepts that take into account both the high demands of the bride and groom and the cultural peculiarities. Indian weddings in Thailand have now become not just a business but also a cultural exchange that creates stronger bonds between the two countries. The kingdom will undoubtedly continue to be one of the top wedding destinations in the future, characterized by tradition, hospitality and unforgettable experiences.
