Men: Gentleman we invite you to have light colored attire that resonate with the tropical vibe. Please avoid white or black suits. Feel free to leave your ties at home!
Do we need to tip in Koh Samui?
In Koh Samui, tipping is not expected, but it is appreciated, especially for exceptional service, you can usually round up your bill or leave a small amount of change. Decent tip is around 50 baht ($1.50 USD). If you choose to tip at restaurant, as most bills already include a service charge
How is the weather in Thailand?
Weather can be unpredictable, but please prepare for humid tropical weather during March.
How is transportation at Koh Samui?
It is usually taxis or download the grap app, but they’re not always cheap, so traveling as a group and splitting costs is the best idea. Can also work with villa staff to help with rides.
Car rental from the airport or suggested from people’s hotels / airbnb, I recommend the well known places at the airport, good reliability. If you plan to rent a car and drive to the wedding ceremony and reception, there is plenty of space to park. We would just strongly suggest that no one considers coming all day drinking and then driving, even if its just 5 minutes along the road. Anyone wanting to rent scooters etc, please ensure they’re aware it’s not legal to ride without a helmet and having no license = no insurance is valid. Too many accidents happen here with these circumstances so best to be armed with the right info.
Based on where you are staying at, you can ask your hotel if they have available drivers to go around the island.
Are there wedding events on the days before or after the wedding?
