How many days are the wedding couple staying for?
6 nights at Banyan tree resort. It is too stunning! We will be traveling and exploring Bali and Singapore beforehand.
What are the best airlines to get there?
So many options coming out the states. My preferred option, especially for 1st class, is Delta airlines. It's the best experience going out of the country. There are no direct flights to Koh Samui so you will need to connect. The best connecting airlines are Emerates for luxury. Another option that is efficient is connecting through Singapore via Bankok airways. There is many more options depending on budget.
What Should I pack?
tennis shoes, active wear for excursions, sandals, swimwear, resort wear, wedding attire(light pastel colors), converters for outlets (normal US plugs won't work), toiletries, hats, bug spray, sunscreen, itch relief, Benadryl, medications, backpack/fanny pack, beach bag, water bottle
