Trang Underwater Wedding Ceremony 2025 in Thailand

It might sound a bit cheesy to get married underwater with a crowd of other couples, but it may also be a unique experience

Dates: February 13–15, 2025 (unconfirmed)

Trang Underwater Wedding Ceremony may be a commercial activity, but the main aim of the event is to promote authentic Thai wedding traditions while being in an extraordinary environment. The fascinating event happens yearly over St. Valentine's Day in the Trang area, Kradan Island, and Trang Town. This event is not only a celebration of love but also a spectacle that attracts couples and divers from around the world.

Underwater Wedding Ceremony Highlights

The ceremony is a combination of the Buddhist rituals with the Thai wedding ceremony when the lustre water is poured, and the old happily-married couples escort brides and grooms to their honeymoon suites. It is believed to bring peace and harmony in the relationship.

The Trang Underwater Wedding in Thailand is a one-of-a-kind event that incorporates traditional Thai wedding customs into an extraordinary underwater setting. Couples participate in ceremonies such as the blessing ritual and the "rod nam sang" ceremony, where water is poured from a conch shell over the couple's hands to symbolize blessings for their union.

What sets this wedding apart is its breathtaking underwater setting. Some participants opt to wear traditional wedding attire, such as dresses or tuxedos, alongside their scuba gear. The highlight is the ceremonial signing of waterproof marriage certificates, which is officiated by a representative from the Trang district under the sea.

Registration

The registration usually lasts until the end of December. To join the underwater ceremony, couples need to have a scuba diving license. Another option is to take a short two-day diving course provided by the organizers and receive a scuba diving certificate (which expires in 15 days). This course usually takes place a few days before the ceremony.
