Khao Yai Wedding Packages: Prices and What Each Tier Includes

By Wedding in Thailand — updated 2026

Most couples marrying in Khao Yai start from a package, and comparing them takes slightly more care here than on a coast because the venue families price so differently. This guide sets out the tiers, prices and inclusions, alongside our complete Khao Yai wedding guide. For 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 Khao Yai packages are structured

Packages here follow the same tiered logic as the rest of Thailand, building upward from a simple ceremony to a full wedding with reception, with each tier adding elements to the one below it. Understanding the ladder lets you buy the tier that matches your guest count rather than paying for inclusions you never wanted in the first place.

Why packages make sense here

For a wedding planned from Bangkok, a package removes guesswork by bundling the core elements into one coordinated price and putting the venue’s own team in charge of setup and timing on the day. Khao Yai’s resorts and larger estates run weddings regularly, so that team is usually capable. The trade-off, as always, is less bespoke freedom.

• Ceremony only — setup, celebrant, flowers and a short photo session.
• Ceremony with dinner — adds seating and a meal for an intimate group.
• Full wedding — adds a complete reception, styling and entertainment.
• Accommodation — included at resorts, rarely at vineyards and styled venues.

The accommodation question

This is the detail that makes Khao Yai quotes harder to compare than coastal ones, and it is worth establishing before you look at a single price. Because venues are spread across a wide area and many of the most attractive settings have no rooms at all, where your guests sleep can add a substantial line that appears in one quote and not another.

Comparing like with like

A mountain resort package that houses a hundred guests and a vineyard hire with no accommodation are not comparable figures, even if the headline numbers look similar. Work out the full cost including rooms for everyone before choosing, and remember that guests driving between a hotel and a venue after dark is its own consideration on roads near the park.

Ceremony-only packages

The entry tier suits elopements and very small weddings, covering what a symbolic ceremony genuinely needs and little else. In Khao Yai this tier is particularly good value, because the landscape supplies atmosphere that would otherwise have to be bought through styling, and a ceremony among vines or facing the ridge needs very little decoration at all.

What ceremony packages include

Expect 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, a wine tasting or a Thai blessing available to add on top of the base package. For two people among the vines, very little else is genuinely needed.

Ceremony-with-dinner packages

The middle tier adds a meal, turning the vows into a genuine celebration for a small group without the cost of a full reception. This is the sweet spot for many Khao Yai weddings, and it is where the vineyards are at their strongest, since a long table on a terrace above the vines for twenty-five people is exactly what those venues do best. It is also the format that shows off the setting most effectively.

What mid-tier packages include

On top of the ceremony elements, expect seating for your guests, a set menu or buffet, drinks and a little more styling, at roughly 150,000 to 400,000 THB depending on numbers and venue. At a wine estate the beverage arrangement usually centres on the house wines, which is worth confirming since it affects both cost and what you can bring in.

Full wedding packages

The top tier covers the ceremony and a complete reception with dinner, drinks, styling, coordination and often entertainment for a larger group. In Khao Yai this is predominantly a mountain-resort product, since those properties have the capacity, the kitchens, the covered spaces and the rooms that a wedding at scale requires in this landscape.

What full packages include

A full package typically bundles the ceremony, reception venue, a multi-course meal or generous buffet, a drinks package, styling, coordination and often entertainment, from around 350,000 THB to over 900,000 THB depending on guest count and upgrades. Confirm what the drinks and styling cover, and whether guest rooms are included or merely discounted.

The service charge and exclusions

As everywhere in Thailand, the most misread part of a quote is the plus-plus, and in Khao Yai it applies at resorts while vineyards and private estates often price differently. Establishing the basis of every quote before comparing is the single most useful habit in the whole process, and it costs one question at the enquiry stage. Ask it before you receive a single price.

Understanding the plus-plus

Resorts and hotels typically add a service charge of about 10 percent plus 7 percent VAT, compounding to roughly 17.7 percent on the quoted figure. Our guide to the 17.7% plus-plus shows the arithmetic, and multiplying a plus-plus figure by 1.177 gives you the number you will actually be invoiced for at the end of the process. At Khao Yai guest counts that difference is a substantial line in its own right.

What packages usually exclude

Common exclusions are guest transport from Bangkok, accommodation where it is not bundled, legal-marriage paperwork and upgrades to flowers, entertainment or photography. Because venues sit far apart here, transfers between a hotel and the ceremony are a genuine line rather than an afterthought, so get the exclusion list in writing.

How to choose the right package

Choosing well comes down to matching the tier to your guest count and then comparing quotes on the same basis, with accommodation included in the comparison. The four steps below settle it for most couples and take about an afternoon of enquiries. The steps below keep it simple, and a planner can customise a package to fit.
