 Hi ladies,
Just thought I'd share what we have booked and our planning for the wedding and trip its self;

Bangkok for the 3 nights @ a 5* hotel with a roof top pool and a spa with complementary treatments.

Short flight to Koh Samui for 5 nights in a resort and spa hotel with a jacuzzi bath overlooking the mountains and beaches,
On the 3rd day in koh samui we are going to have the wedding ceremony on a private beach @ 5pm with a flower arch and scattered rose petals and candles emoticon
Then a candle lit dinner on the beach for just the two of us.

Then after 5 nights in koh samui we will get a flight or boat to Chiangmai for 5 nights staying in the loft suite for honeymooners, then onto ko pangyan for another 5 nights at another spa resort.
We are also celebrating both birthdays out there emoticon

Then return to Bangkok for 1 night them fly home.

The flights were £1100 for both of us and all the hotel were £1200 altogether then the ceremony is costing £1200 including legal fees.
So that's the costs of everything so far bar spending money, has anyone been to Thailand and can recommend things to do/see or know any useful info?
I think the prices seem really reasonable, what do you think girls??xxx

 That sounds amazing. My husband has been to Thailand twice (once for 4 weeks and a second time for 6 weeks) as a marine conservationist. He said Tiger Temple, Krabi and Phu Khet are good to see. Also the scuba diving out there is fantastic and Pnompenth if you're a party kind. The Phi Phi islands are also good.

He also said most Thai's do not 'get' sarcasm or irony.

He said that Thailand is a beautiful country but it does have a lot of social issues so to be prepared for that. The most obvious ones being drugs and prostitution.

I can't wait till he takes me to Thailand emoticon have you gone through a travel agent or booked it all yourselves? Sounds like a fantastic deal to me and would love to do a trip like that.
