Surprising Things You’d Only See in Thailand

In Trang, saying “I do” can require scuba gear. The province’s famous Underwater Wedding Ceremony takes couples beneath the Andaman Sea, where brides and grooms pose, celebrate, and take part in wedding traditions surrounded by blue water instead of banquet halls.

The unusual event began in 1996 and has earned international attention, including a Guinness World Record for the largest underwater wedding. In 2025, couples of different genders and nationalities joined the celebration following Thailand’s introduction of marriage equality. Trang has managed to make taking the plunge wonderfully literal.
