There is something special about Krabi wedding venues. Krabi’s long history and the friendly Muslim community may be why it’s so welcoming. But one thing is sure: Krabi’s stunning views make the perfect backdrop for wedding photos.
I love photographing this fantastic province in Thailand. Here are some of my favorite Krabi wedding venues.
Rayavadee Railay Krabi
When you mention Krabi wedding venues, most people think of Railay Beach (Rai Leh). Located between Krabi City and Ao Nang, it is a small peninsula you can only reach by boat. Towering limestone cliffs cut off mainland access and make it feel like a secret island!
Krabi’s premier resort is the hidden Rayavadee set in the Krabi Marine National Park. The Rayavadee caters for smaller weddings and holds ceremonies in a candle-lit limestone cave with an ocean backdrop. It is a dream venue for a Krabi wedding photographer. There are plenty of photo opportunities at any Krabi wedding.
I have been lucky to photograph many weddings at Rayavadee, and your Krabi wedding photos will be stunning!
Phulay Bay Ritz Carlton Krabi
Back on the ‘mainland,’ the breathtaking setting of Phulay Bay awaits. The stunning hotel where The Hangover Part 2 movie filmed its wedding scene is the Phulay Bay Ritz Carlton in Krabi. It is on the picturesque Tubkaek Beach, close to Ao Nang in Krabi.
The beautiful and luxurious Phulay Bay is a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Krabi, Thailand. It is the perfect setting for a stunning wedding. The resort is on a secluded stretch of beach surrounded by lush tropical foliage. Towering limestone cliffs create a breathtaking backdrop for any Krabi wedding ceremony.
When I photographed a wedding there, the bride and groom used the best of Thailand’s entertainment for their Krabi wedding. The wedding show included a baby elephant, a fire show, and a ladyboy cabaret!
Pimalai Resort & Spa Koh Lanta
On Koh Lanta, the top choice is the 5-star Pimalai Resort & Spa in the lush Bakantiang Bay on the southwest coast.
Your Krabi wedding ceremony can be on sandy beaches or in tropical gardens. Both venues will provide a stunning backdrop for your Krabi wedding photos.
I’ve loved photographing here many times and usually end up with the wedding guests in Why Not Bar until the early hours!
Zeavola Koh Phi Phi
Located on the serene white sands of Laem Tong Beach, Zeavola is the premier destination on Koh Phi Phi Island. This luxurious resort exudes rustic romance, perfect for a Krabi wedding.
I had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful wedding at Zeavola resort. The breathtaking scenery and turquoise waters left me in awe upon arriving on the island. Their Krabi wedding ceremony and reception took place on the beach, one of the finest in Thailand!
SAii Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort
SAii Phi Phi Island Village is a vast resort with a long beach. The best part is that even when the resort is busy, finding a secluded corner for a Krabi wedding is easy.
I photographed an intimate Krabi wedding elopement here, and it felt like we had the wedding venue to ourselves!
