Khao Yai Wedding Packages: Prices and What Each Tier Includes
Khao Yai wedding packages run from about 60,000 THB for a ceremony to over 900,000 THB for a full celebration. What each tier includes and how to compare.
Krabi wedding packages run from around 60,000 THB for a simple ceremony to over 1,200,000 THB for a full celebration with reception, typically tiered as ceremony-only, ceremony with dinner, and full wedding packages, with Railay venues adding boat-transfer costs.
Packages make a Krabi wedding easy to budget from abroad because they bundle the core elements into one price, but tiers and inclusions vary between venues, and the province’s boat-access settings add a line most destinations do not have. This guide breaks down the tiers, their prices, the service charge to watch for, and how to compare quotes fairly.
Most couples marrying in Krabi start with a package, because bundling the ceremony, styling and catering into one coordinated price is by far the easiest way to plan a destination wedding remotely. Krabi’s packages follow Thailand’s familiar tiers, with one local twist at boat-access venues. This guide sets out the tiers, prices and inclusions, alongside our complete Krabi wedding guide. For official destination guidance, the Tourism Authority of Thailand is a useful reference. These are indicative 2026 planning figures rather than quotes, so confirm current prices when you enquire.
How Krabi packages are structured
Wedding packages in Krabi are built in tiers, from a simple symbolic ceremony up to a full wedding with reception, with each tier adding elements to the one below. Understanding the ladder is the key to choosing well, because it lets you buy the tier that matches your guest count without paying for extras you never wanted. The tiers below are the common pattern across the province’s venues.
Why packages make sense here
For a destination wedding, a package removes guesswork by bundling the core elements into one coordinated price, which beats sourcing each vendor from another country. In Krabi it also means the venue’s team handles setup and timing, and at Railay it usually means they manage the boat transfers too. The trade-off is less bespoke freedom, which is why many couples customise a package rather than build from scratch.
- Ceremony only — the vows, setup and a short photo session, for elopements and tiny weddings.
- Ceremony with dinner — adds seating and a meal for an intimate group.
- Full wedding — adds a complete reception, styling and entertainment at scale.
Ceremony-only packages
The entry tier is a ceremony-only package, ideal for elopements and very small weddings, covering what a symbolic ceremony genuinely needs and little more. In Krabi this tier is especially attractive because the scenery itself is the styling: a simple arch in front of a limestone karst needs no embellishment. It is comfortably the best value the province offers for a real wedding ceremony.
What ceremony packages include
A ceremony-only package typically covers a simple arch or setup, chairs for a handful of guests, a celebrant for a symbolic ceremony, a bouquet and buttonhole, and often a short photography session. Prices start from around 60,000 THB, with extras such as longer photography or a longtail-boat arrival available to add. At Railay venues, confirm whether transfers for you and your guests are inside the price.
Ceremony-with-dinner packages
The middle tier adds a meal to the ceremony, turning the vows into a genuine celebration for a small group, and it is the sweet spot for many intimate Krabi weddings. It combines the ceremony with a dinner for family and close friends without the scale or cost of a full reception, and it is where guest count begins to shape the price meaningfully rather than marginally.
What mid-tier packages include
A ceremony-with-dinner package adds seating for your guests, a set menu or buffet, drinks and a little more styling on top of the ceremony elements. Expect roughly 200,000 to 450,000 THB depending on numbers and the venue, before any service charge. It suits intimate weddings of around ten to forty guests who want a shared meal by the water to mark the day properly.
Full wedding packages
The top tier is a full wedding package covering the ceremony and a complete reception with dinner, drinks, styling and entertainment for a larger group. This is the classic destination-wedding format and where most of the budget sits. In Krabi it is overwhelmingly a resort product, since the Ao Nang and Klong Muang properties have the capacity, kitchens and covered fallbacks that scale demands.
What full packages include
A full package typically bundles the ceremony, the reception venue, a multi-course meal or generous buffet, a drinks package, styling, coordination and often entertainment. Prices commonly run from around 450,000 THB to over 1,200,000 THB depending on guest count and upgrades. Confirm exactly what the drinks and styling cover, since those two lines vary most between otherwise similar venues.
Comparing package tiers
Seeing the tiers side by side makes it easy to place your own wedding and budget with confidence before you approach venues. The table below summarises Krabi’s common tiers with indicative 2026 prices before the service charge and tax, and our Krabi cost breakdown sits beneath it with the full line-by-line picture for each size of celebration.
| Package tier | Typical guests | Indicative price before ++ (THB) |
|---|---|---|
| Ceremony only | 2–10 | 60,000 – 150,000 |
| Ceremony with dinner | 10–40 | 200,000 – 450,000 |
| Full wedding | 40–100+ | 450,000 – 1,200,000+ |
The service charge and Krabi’s extra line
The most misread part of any Krabi quote is the plus-plus, and at boat-access venues a second easily-missed line joins it: transfers. Between them, these two items are the most common reason a Krabi budget drifts upward late in planning, and both are simple to pin down if you ask the right questions before comparing packages rather than after booking one.
Understanding the plus-plus
Many venues add a service charge of about 10 percent plus 7 percent VAT, which compound to roughly 17.7 percent on top of the quoted package price. A package advertised at one figure therefore costs meaningfully more in practice. Always ask whether a quote is nett or subject to this charge, and compare every package on the same nett basis or the comparison is meaningless.
Transfers and other exclusions
Even full packages commonly exclude guest transport, accommodation, legal-marriage paperwork and upgrades to flowers, entertainment or photography — and at Railay, the longtail-boat transfers for guests and vendors may be extra. Ask each venue for its exclusions in writing, including exactly who pays for boats, so your comparison reflects the true all-in cost of the day rather than the brochure figure.
How to choose the right package
Choosing the right Krabi package comes down to matching the tier to your guest count, settling the boat-versus-road access question, and then comparing the quotes you gather on a genuine nett basis. The steps below keep it simple, and a planner can customise a package to fit. For guest travel and entry information, the TAT Newsroom carries the latest updates.
- Fix your guest count and pick the tier — ceremony, dinner or full wedding.
- Decide road-access or Railay, and confirm who pays for any boat transfers.
- Confirm whether each quote is nett or plus-plus, and get exclusions in writing.
- Compare shortlisted packages on the same nett basis, then book early.
Frequently asked questions
How much are wedding packages in Krabi?
Krabi wedding packages run from around 60,000 THB for a ceremony-only package to 200,000 to 450,000 THB for a ceremony with dinner, and 450,000 to over 1,200,000 THB for a full wedding with reception. These figures are before the service charge and tax, which usually add roughly 17.7 percent.
What is included in a Krabi wedding package?
It depends on the tier. Ceremony-only packages cover the setup, celebrant, flowers and a short photo session; mid-tier packages add seating, a meal and drinks; full packages add a complete reception, styling, coordination and often entertainment. At Railay venues, confirm whether boat transfers are included.
Do Krabi packages include the service charge?
Often not. Many venues quote a package price and add a service charge of about 10 percent plus 7 percent VAT on top, compounding to roughly 17.7 percent. Always ask whether a quote is nett or subject to this plus-plus before comparing, or your budget will drift upward unexpectedly.
Do Railay wedding packages cover boat transfers?
Sometimes, and it is essential to confirm. Railay is reached only by longtail boat, so guests, vendors and equipment all arrive by sea. Some venues include transfers in their packages while others bill them separately, so get the arrangement and the cost in writing before comparing Railay against road-access venues.
Which package tier is right for my wedding?
Match the tier to your guest count. Ceremony-only suits elopements and tiny weddings, ceremony-with-dinner suits intimate groups of ten to forty, and full packages suit forty or more guests wanting a complete reception. Deciding by guest count first makes the rest of the comparison straightforward.
Can I customise a Krabi wedding package?
Yes. Most venues let you upgrade or adjust a package — extending photography, enhancing the menu, adding a longtail-boat arrival or extra styling — so it fits your vision. A planner can tailor a package for you, keeping the convenience of a bundle while adding the personal touches you want.
