An Invitation to a Thai Wedding
Being invited to a local wedding is one of the great privileges of expat life in Thailand. Dave and Kim travel to Roi Et, in the country's northeastern Isaan region, to attend their friends' wedding, and they bring the camera along for a day they clearly enjoyed.
Tradition on Display
Traditional Thai weddings blend Buddhist ritual, family ceremony, and full scale celebration, often stretching from morning merit making to an evening party. The video captures the family's experience as honored guests, showing viewers the customs, the food, and the warmth that define an Isaan wedding. Guests are welcomed like family, and the celebration carries on long into the evening.
Why Roi Et Is Worth the Trip
