studios store fronts, Nakhon Si Thammarat City, Thasala, and Phuket There are over one hundred wedding studios in Nakhon Si Thammarat City alone. Each is independently owned and operated, and usually offers packages of services available to brides and grooms to be. While the number of studios seems high, it comes as no surprise when looking at census data for the country. About 66% of the population was of working age (15-59 years old) at the time of the 2010 census, a demographic which contains the age of most people of marrying age in Thailand (Chapter 2: Major Findings).

Surrounding the salon area are rental dresses covered in plastic dry cleaning bags. The owner for the shop was nowhere to be found and despite appearances (no closed doors, no shut windows), the shop was closed for the evening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165666010-RQJ9CEB2T7R4323S9W2T/20140722DSC_0072.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - Rental pieces for the groom, Classic Studio, Nakhon Si Thammarat City In the center of the image we see a blend of the western influence and traditional Thai style by combining pieces from a tuxedo alongside pants made from Thai silk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165664064-VP80H81OOAD7W57OP29W/20140710DSC_0224.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - Portraits of brides, Thasala It is common for bridal studios in this region to include portraits of past brides to display the photography offered in their packages, or styling services provided by the shop. On the wall of the empty bridal shop hangs an array of portraits. It is unclear as to whether or not these are past clients or images meant as points of inspiration for future clients https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165667324-NILFVR96PZ26E4O9AKVH/20140804minor_hangingdressdip.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - White wedding dress versus traditional Thai wedding dress, Tonrak Wedding Shop, Nakhon Si Thammarat City While this shop is smaller in size, Tonrak Wedding Shop offers a wide variety of styles of white wedding dresses and a somewhat smaller selection of traditional dresses.

Kaew, the shop owner, finds dress designs and then has the dresses cut to order. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165664641-S8L352UCFBFX98OT4KKR/20140711DSC_0307.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - Rental pieces hang in back of the studio, Together Studio, Nakhon Si Thammarat City Together Studio sits along a block between three other wedding studios in downtown Nakhon Si Thammarat City.

Here, the mostidentifying element of these dresses is the Thai silk, as it is customarily only worn during the actual wedding ceremony that takes place in the morning of the couple’s special day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165663901-5LX0Q2RQQJLO44FTX4CS/20140710DSC_0226.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - White wedding dresses hang in open doorway, Thasala White dresses tend to be the main draw for clients into different shops, and it is common to see a wider selection of styles of these gowns than of the traditional style gowns. According to one shop owner, despite the number of shops in the area there is still a great deal of competition from shop to shop. Regardless, most clients are swayed more by pricing of services and rentals than any other factor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165667642-6VN05QU37YN4LSUF1RCX/20140804minor_ParichatFlowerTrip.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - Interior of Parichat Flower Shop, Nakhon Si Thammarat City Parichat Flower Shop has been in business for 20 years, and works with wedding planners, the bride and groom, or hotel and venue staff to coordinate flower arrangements for the wedding events on a regular basis. Pensri (center) shows off a book of floral arrangements from past wedding gigs. Most of the time, the shop supplies fresh flowers, but also provides fake flowers for certain types of décor. Tradition also dictates that the couple wears a set of flower garlands around their necks as a sign of unity and unbroken bonds during the early morning ceremony, which the shop also provides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165667261-2Q5ZWISJ2AA9JZMRBEIW/20140722DSC_0075.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - White wedding gowns in store window, Classic Studio, Nakhon Si Thammarat City While some shops will have wedding dresses cut to order from suppliers, other shops buy dresses that are already made from suppliers in larger cities like Bangkok. It is rare that brides will want custom dresses made as the rental option is typically the most financially viable option. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165665189-MTNP6XHT0IGI4QDEODP1/20140712DSC_0409.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - Printed signs for past customers, Tonrak Wedding Shop, Nakhon Si Thammarat City Along with Tonrak Wedding Shop’s usual package (dresses, floral arrangements, photography, invitations, etc.), the shop also offers printed signs that can be used for the wedding events.

Here, a couple or a wedding planner can go in person and choose the type of invitation they want to use for their wedding day. Invitations run anywhere from 6฿ to 20฿ each. After the couple has chosen a design from the shop’s selection, the shop will print information on the card using a nearly 100 year old original Heidelberg printing press ("The History of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.") https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165666403-5DHEHNWZ5X7OYJ284EUD/20140722DSC_0080.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - Wedding photobooks and dresses on display, Classic Studio, Nakhon Si Thammarat Clients in this shop are invited to flip through wedding books of past clients and view samples from the shop’s photography packages. Classic Studio is owned by Kung, who also owns I Love You Studio just down the block. In the wake of I Love You’s success, Kung decided it was time to open another shop. Now, Kung feels that this second shop has been somewhat less successful than the first. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165665543-BWQ2UQPEFWBITWR3JUWD/20140712DSC_0432.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - Store window of a Muslim wedding studio, Nakhon Si Thammarat City While Buddhism is the predominant religion in Thailand, there is a strong Muslim presence in the southern region of the country. This being the case, there are many shops that cater specifically to this demographic, including wedding shops. This photograph was captured during the month of fasting and prayer known as Ramadan, which explains why this shop was closed on a busy Saturday downtown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1411165666703-TDIRM8GGY7TQQ65VTXNT/20140722DSC_0082.jpg Looking at the Thai Wedding Industry - Seating area, Classic Studio, Nakhon Si Thammarat City Western influence in the Thai wedding industry can be seen not only in the style of dress. Kung admits that western style has become a noticeable facet of the wedding industry in Thailand, even down to the interior design of these wedding shops. As she sees it, “westerners love Thai style, and Thais love western style.” http://mdminorphotography.com/the-price-of-knowing daily 0.75 2015-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888707036-OPZ5518M3ZENPM7T2NC3/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Landscape+1.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888707036-OPZ5518M3ZENPM7T2NC3/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Landscape+1.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888710878-NZXJ37MHEKM0H1UX90JK/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Portait+1.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888706965-29EUT6BROGCBY575O7A2/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Landscape+2.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888711346-UD2FKLQE3EHTRVRITR4J/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Portait+2.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888708121-K1HC64INSGZ2ALQU7N6D/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Landscape+3.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888713233-I58JME8D2Y9Q50FFWKQ0/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Portait+4.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888708350-Y3W8UK8U08N5183FCGQB/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Landscape+4.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888712579-5SX24RUG3DDGATQDF1OC/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Portait+3.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888709173-FZZ4U75FX6OUQX0D37BN/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Landscape+5.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888816392-O2F2F1ZZULVKFFAVXE4B/20140804mminor_weddingshopgridFLAT.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888715260-YGIXPKVO6LHZCW8RX2KJ/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Portait+5.jpg The Price of Knowing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1430888715050-6QB43JUQXRAOEYOBDYHV/SS+Portfolio+Diptych+Portait+6.jpg The Price of Knowing http://mdminorphotography.com/sacred-earth-hallowed-ground daily 1.0 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52dad93ce4b0e34b862d5fa9/1674844546342-H9YM1J6RH5QHF6KBZJPP/image-asset.jpeg sacred earth, hallowed ground -
