Korean honeymooners flock to Phuket

According to South Korea’s honorary consul in Phuket, Tossaporn Thepabutr, one in four Korean brides chooses to spend her honeymoon in Phuket.

Mr Tossaporn, who is also the wealthiest member of the Thai Parliament, was named honorary consul to Korea after that country opened its new consular office in Phuket in July last year.

It is also becoming very fashionable for high society couples in Korea to spend their holidays here.

(...) About 50,000 Korean newlyweds honeymoon in Phuket every year, he said.
