Boat Island Tour- Koh Phangan

Our Wedding

It all started with a dating app called "Coffee Meets Bagel". While scrolling, Alyssa noticed that Jason Dagdagan liked her, she kept swiping to see more pics and noticed that she saw her best friend's brother (Chris Aldaba) in one of his pictures. Instantly, Alyssa screenshot-ed that picture to her best friend, (Maricris Aldaba) to get all the scoop on Jay. Alyssa definitely swiped right. Alyssa and Jay matched during the Lovers and Friends concert, where Jay was with his whole family at this concert and he got all the scoop about Alyssa as well.

Koh Phangan Info

Final Destination is Koh Samui Airport (USM) LAX--&gt; Koh Samui = round trip travel time can vary between 21-30 hours, depending on which flight you choose. - Highly recommend to leave LA two or three days (travel time) prior to our wedding date, which is March 9 or March 10 to make it to March 12, 2025 wedding ceremony and reception. Transportation at Koh Samui:- It is usually taxis or grab, but they’re not always cheap, so traveling as a group and splitting costs is the best idea. - Car rental from the airport or suggested from people’s hotels / airbnb, I recommend the well known places at the airport, good reliability. - If you plan to rent a car and drive to the wedding ceremony and reception, there is plenty of space to park. We would just strongly suggest that no one considers coming all day drinking and then driving, even if its just 5 minutes along the road. - Anyone wanting to rent scooters etc please ensure they’re aware it’s not legal to ride without a helmet and having no license = no insurance is valid. Too many accidents happy here with these circumstances so best to be armed with the right info. Please see below for the hotel recommendations listed below. FYI- there are no hotel blocks, so please plan accordingly and you are open to book any hotels or villas to your liking.
