A Phuket traditional Baba styled wedding is a ceremony which brings happiness and joy for the parents and family of the bride and groom. Its also an occasion to present the familys social status.
The Baba term is used for descendents of the earliest Hokkien Chinese immigrants in Phuket. The traditional Baba Wedding ceremony is rare to see nowadays. Phuket adapted this culture from Penang and Malaysia and combined it into Thai traditions.
On such an auspicious day, the firecrackers are loud in every procedure of the ceremony. The loud noise is believed to bring about prosperity and fortune.
The ceremony begins from the grooms family. In the morning, the groom family perform a ceremony to pay respect to God and sacred items, indicating that the auspicious ceremony is about to take place.
The groom makes a journey to see the bride at auspicious time.
The grand procession is warmly accompanied by family and friends of the groom.
The bride anxiously waits at her bridal chamber.
The groom must go through the silver and gold barrier before he is allowed to meet his bride. After that the couple perform a tea ceremony or Phang Teh, offering tea to parents and senior relatives. The senior family members then give wishes and give out gifts for the couple to build up their own family.
The Phuket Chinese Baba couple are in their glamorous costumes. The groom puts on a western suit influenced through Chinese migrants.
The Baba Chinese bride Nyonya costume consists of a beautiful embroidered white blouse with standing collar, worn with Pateh sarong. The calflength gown is worn on top. The brides hair is styled in a high bun and decorated with handmade flower. Turtle shaped chest brooch is put on. The bride also wears several necklaces.
According to Phuket custom, the new couple go pay respect and seek blessings from Chinese shrines such as the Pud Jo shrine.
The couple then return to the grooms residence to perform a ceremony to worship god, spirit & ancestors to inform that they have married. In the evening, celebrations, mostly in western style, take place. The western celebrations are now carried out at auspicious events in Phuket.

The renowned interior designer and his wife Jackie, former editor of You & Your Wedding and author of Debretts Wedding Guide, fell in love with the Beachcomber Hotels and Mauritius on a recent family holiday. In fact Laurence and Jackie renewed their vows at Dinarobin!
With their combined flair of design and understanding of the wedding market Laurence and Jackie were the perfect couple to add something a little extra to our wedding abroad offering.
Laurence has exclusively designed us a new gazebo which clients can choose for their wedding day. The gazebo has been designed to be as flexible as possible and rather than be in a fixed location can be set-up anywhere with in the resort. The simple but stylish design has been created to make the most out of the stunning Beachcomber wedding locations whilst still making sure that the bride and groom remain the main focus of the wedding ceremony.
As is Beachcombers way, however, the choice is yours. If you would like your wedding location set up with an exclusive Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen designed gazebo then they come highly recommended but if you would prefer nothing more than a palm tree over your head and your feet in the sand then thats fine with us as it is your special day!Weddings Abroad with Beachcomber
Above all we are delighted to have Laurence & Jackie involved as they have not only helped us create new wedding in paradise packages but have given couples even more choice on the design and setup of their special day.
The Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen Gazebos are available at all Beachcomber hotels except Royal Palm.
