A Deep Dive into Complete Traditional Thai Wedding Ceremonies: Monk Blessing–Khan Mak Procession–Proposal–Ring Exchange–Rod Nam Sang

Do you dream of hosting a complete, authentic Thai wedding, from the morning monk ceremony and Khan Mak procession, all the way to the ring exchange and Rod Nam Sang water blessing? At RARIN BKK, we offer comprehensive morning Thai wedding ceremony services amidst the beautiful Chao Phraya River atmosphere, with a professional team handling every step so you don't have to worry.

 

‍️Start Your Day with the Monk Blessing Ceremony for Auspiciousness

Most Thai wedding ceremonies begin with a Monk Blessing Ceremony, where 5 or 9 monks are invited to chant prayers, receive alms, and sprinkle holy water, bringing auspiciousness to the couple. At RARIN, we provide a dedicated space for the monks, fully equipped with an altar table, seating, and meals.

Followed by the Khan Mak Procession Joyful and Warm
 
After the Monk Blessing Ceremony, the Khan Mak Procession begins. This is considered a highlight of authentic Thai morning ceremonies, where the groom's procession marches with trays of engagement gifts and dowry. There are playful 'gates' (Silver and Gold Gates) blocked by the bride's relatives, creating a joyful atmosphere filled with laughter and smiles from both families.

 
Proposal & Ring Exchange Ceremony Simple Yet Full of Meaning

Upon the groom's arrival, the Proposal and Tea Ceremony (if applicable) begins. Then, the elders formally ask for the bride's hand and hand over the dowry and engagement gold. This is followed by the Ring Exchange, where the groom places the ring on the bride's finger, witnessed by their families. Elders may also give blessings.

 

Concluding with the Rod Nam Sang (Water Blessing) Ceremony Full of Blessings

The couple changes into beautiful traditional Thai attire for the Rod Nam Sang ceremony. They sit on a traditional Thai pouring bench, receiving blessed water from senior guests and friends. Along with heartfelt blessings that will empower their journey into married life, ensuring smoothness and stability.
