Event management planner Deena Pandey, who works for Bangkok-based Direct Holiday Company Ltd, said couples from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore are opting Thailand destinations for wedding and marriage anniversary celebrations.

"We can arrange everything here for a 'baraat' or bridegroom's ceremony, ranging from hiring a 'pandit' to a 'ghori' to a fire ceremony (in which the bride and groom walked around a flame) to serving Indian cuisines. We have large convention and exhibition halls that can easily be converted into a wedding venue," he said.

Pandey says it's the fear of income tax officials that is driving the Indians to Thailand.

"This is what I have heard from them (Indians)," he said.
