The wedding ceremonies took place at the Dhara Dhevi in Chiang Mai between the 18th and the 20th of June.

Chiang Mai was chosen for the event because it’s the cultural and tourist centre of Northern Thailand, following the ceremonies at least two couples went on to Samui for a honeymoon.

The couples were all invited by the Paris office of the TAT, French tourists account for the fourth biggest visitor source in Europe, with Germany, the UK and Sweden taking the top three positions.
