East coast
Getting Married on Phuket's East Coast
The east coast faces Phang Nga Bay. The water is calmer, the light is different, and the properties are typically estate villas and marina-side venues rather than surf beaches.
Character
- Sheltered, calm water with island views
- Sunrise rather than sunset outlook
- Larger grounds and estate properties
- Marinas and boat access to Phang Nga Bay
How weddings use this area
- Estate villa weddings with marquee builds
- Thai ceremonies at properties with covered pavilions
- Weddings including a boat element
Practical detail
- Getting there
- Roughly 30 to 50 minutes from the airport.
- Considerations
- No sunset over water; photography plans differ from the west.
- Green, low-lying sites need insect management.
- Tidal range affects some waterfront settings.
