Bangkok: For Indians, getting married in Thailand is just less taxing.Members of the hospitality industry say Bangkok and its nearby beach resorts and islands have been emerging as the best bet for big, fat weddings.



Indian Ambassador to Thailand Anil Wadhwa said besides shooting of films, a new phenomenon has been that Indians have chosen Thailand as a favourite wedding destination.

"The value of this (wedding) business alone is estimated to be around 30-40 billion baht (Rs.60 billion-Rs.80 billion) a year with an annual growth of approximately 15-20 percent," Wadhwa told a visiting IANS correspondent.

"Our estimate is around 300 Indian weddings plus seminars and company meets would be held in Thailand this year," he added.
