For any wedding in South East Asia the rainy season must be taken into consideration. In Phuket, the hot and wet monsoon season occurs from May to October and during this time prices are lower but an outdoor wedding may prove difficult due to the regular rain showers and frequent storms that occur at that time of the year. However, destination weddings are often more relaxed affairs and a little rain and sand comes with the territory; although it is always good to have an indoor location or marquee available as a back up plan for your wedding in Thailand. If you prefer to be safe then plan your wedding in Phuket during the cooler, drier winter months of December to February.
After your ceremony and reception have concluded you can relax and enjoy your honeymoon. Experience everything from romantic beach side meals featuring world class seafood to water sports and diving or sightseeing trip of Phukets famous rock formations and islands. Or you can simply choose to lie on the beach in front of your own private villa, whatever you prefer to do in Phuket you will have the luxury of knowing that you are already located in one of the top destinations for honeymoons in Asia.
