Now in its 13th year, Trang’s underwater wedding ceremony, 13 to 14 February, must be one of the most unusual ways to tie the knot.
This unique event is right at the top in the creative wedding category and has defied critics over the years to emerge as a
firm favorite for those who want to make their Valentine day wedding extraordinary.In 2000, it was declared the largest underwater
wedding ceremony by the Guinness Book of Records, while more recently it opened the ceremony to physically challenged couples.
Its rise in popularity was not without obstacles, starting with the obvious objection that not everyone has the ability, or the
desire, to stand on a sandy sea bed and utter their vows.

| Venue: |
Pattaya |
Since the first Harley Davidson rolled into Pattaya in the 50s, this east coast resort town has always been a favourite spot
to park a bike and break out a six pack of beer. Today’s bikers are a far cry from rear-guard Hells Angels riding off into
the sunset in a Hollywood movie. Southeast Asia’s vast community of bikers are more likely to be handing out balloons and
gifts at a children’s hospital than burning up tarmac in search of a rumble with authorities.
Pattaya’s efforts to shed a 60s nightlife image and transform itself into a family and fun destination are energized by
special events particularly if they are related to sports and entertainment. A Bikers’ reunion is one of them scheduled,
13 to 14 February. It fits the bill drawing a record turn-out of enthusiasts from Thailand and neighboring countries.
