LOCATION FAQs

WHY THAILAND?

The better question is, why not Thailand? Thailand is a beautiful and lively country with natural scenery and warm culture. This is the perfect place for everyone to celebrate together!

WHERE IS THE RESORT?

SO/ Sofitel is a resort in the Hua Hin region of northern Thailand. Hua Hin is a 2 to 3-hour drive from Bangkok.

HOW DO I GET THERE?

From Bangkok, private car transfer would be the most convenient option for you. You can either visit one of the many taxi booths located in the airport or you can even book through the Grab App! Depending on the traffic, it may take 2-3 hours to get to SO/Sofitel Hua Hin. There are also a few service stops along the way for you to freshen up and stretch your legs!

From Bangkok, we recommend that you leave no later than 11am on the 1st of March to ensure that you have enough time to join us for lunch and have some downtime before the first event at 5pm.

SERVICE FAQs

WILL THERE BE A SALON SERVICE FOR GUESTS?

Our wedding planner is in the process of securing hair and makeup services. To ensure that enough artists are booked, we kindly ask that you answer the makeup/hair question through the RSVP tool regarding your need for assistance in getting ready as best as you can! At this point in time, we expect that it should cost approximately 2400 Thb per look!

IS THERE A SPA MASSAGE SERVICE AVAILABLE IN THE HOTEL?

The SO/ Sofitel Spa is recognised as the best in Cha-Am and Hua Hin region. You are also entitled to a discount as a part of the wedding party, however, make sure you book an appointment prior as it books out quickly!

DO I NEED TO APPLY FOR A VISA?

This will differ depending on where you are travelling from. As per the Australian Thai embassy, Australian Passport Holders are not required to obtain a visa when entering Thailand for tourism purposes and will be permitted to stay in Thailand for a period not exceeding 30 days on each visit. However, entering Thailand without a Visa through land border check-points is restricted to only twice per calendar year.

For Indian Passport Holders travelling as tourists, a visa can be obtained on arrival at Bangkok for a maximum stay of 60 days. You must present your return/onward ticket with a departure within 60 days from arrival date, a proof of accommodation, 1 recent passport photo and at least THB 10,000.- per person (or THB 20,000.- per family). Your passport must contain at least 1 unused visa page and the visa fee must be paid in cash only and in THB.

We would highly recommend that you do your own research and use this guidance as ONLY a starting point.

WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE IN MARCH?

In March, Thailand experiences warm and sunny weather, making it an ideal time to visit. The average daily temperatures in Thailand during March range from 27°C (81°F) to 34°C (93°F). Therefore, make sure you pack lots of sunscreen and many sets of swimmers!
