Fifteen couples from France and the Benelux countries have tied the knot in a traditional Lanna Thai ceremony held in Northern Thailand as part of a partially sponsored event organised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and Thai Airways International.



The invitations to get married in Thailand were part of a campaign undertaken in France to attract the weddings and honeymoon market. The ceremonies took place at the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi in Chiang Mai during 18-20 June 2009.

 

More than 300,000 couples tie the knot in France every year, with many of them choosing a foreign destination for the wedding ceremony and/or honeymoon. The average budget is estimated at 2,100 Euro per person (100,000 baht per person).

 

Known as the Rose of the North, Chiang Mai was chosen for this campaign because it is the cultural and tourism centre of Northern Thailand. Although it has undergone considerable economic development, it still retains its historic heritage of hill tribes, wood-carving factories and the country’s largest village of traditional handicrafts, as well as the famous umbrella-painters. It is also becoming increasingly well-known as a centre of traditional Thai massage, meditation, spas, health and wellness.
