Thai Wedding Ceremonies

Ceremony by Monks

To receive a monk’s blessing is an important pre-wedding step for couples having a traditional Thai wedding. It is done to pave the way for the prosperity of the couple once they are married. During the merit-making ceremony, the couples offer food to the monks, who in exchange sing, pray and impart blessings to them for a life filled with great happiness, strong health, and bountiful wealth.

Khan Maak Procession

During the Khan Maak ceremony, the groom leads a parade to the bride’s house bearing gifts to the bride’s family. These offerings include things like rice, traditional Thai cuisine and desserts, along with monetary contributions or precious items like gold and jewelry. Together, these elements form the dowry presented to the bride’s parents. While these days the Khan Maak procession has lessened in popularity, especially amongst young Thai couples, it remains a great symbolic component, particularly for mixed-race couples seeking a way to blend their different cultures together.

Water Blessing Ceremony

The Water Blessing ceremony, or Rod Nam Sang in Thai, is a pivotal ritual during a Thai wedding. Led by the most senior and respected member, sacred water is poured over the couple’s hands from a conch shell, accompanied by wishes of good luck. Parents, beloved friends, and guests then follow after, soaking the newlyweds’ hands to bless their union.
