Last month, he said, the scion of a leading business group in Mumbai booked more than 40 rooms in Royal Cliff hotel in Pattaya, a two-hour drive from Bangkok, for his daughter's engagement. A grand function was organised within a short notice of less than a week.
"The family is again coming back to Pattaya in January to solemnise the marriage. We have been told to arrange classical Thai tents for the ceremonies on the beach," he said.
Most of the resorts offer cheap honeymoon packages, which include free chopper and limousine ride and romantic speedboat charters to islands off Phuket to the couple. Even for the families they are offering outing packages like dinner on a boat.
The best time to visit Thailand is November to March.
