Thailand Phuket Pre-wedding Location

Phuket is one of the most popular destinations in the world for pre-wedding photography due to its unparalleled variety of backdrops. It allows couples to capture a complete story, moving seamlessly from elegant beach scenes to vintage cityscapes in a single day.

 

Phuket yacht shoot

yacht Charter THB 18,000 – THB 40,000+Varies hugely based on: Type (catamaran, speedboat, luxury motor yacht), Size, Duration 5 hours and Inclusions (crew, fuel, soft drinks, snacks)

Book the Yacht First: Coordinate the yacht’s availability and route with your photographer. A catamaran is often recommended as it offers more stability and wider deck space for varied shots.

Timing is Crucial: Book a charter that specifically covers the Golden Hour (the last hour before sunset). Many couples choose a half-day afternoon cruise to maximize this light.

Motion Sickness: If you or your partner are prone to seasickness, take medication well in advance. A relaxed couple makes for the best photos!

Windmill Viewpoint

Windmill Viewpoint is one of the most picturesque and popular locations in Phuket for a pre-wedding shoot, known for its panoramic ocean views and the iconic wind turbines.

LocationLocated between Ya Nui Beach and Promthep Cape on the south end of Phuket Island.ViewpointOffers stunning views of the Andaman Sea, Ya Nui Beach, and the nearby island of Koh Man.

Early Morning/SunriseVery soft, clean light and almost no crowds. The temperature is much cooler.

Phuket Old Town

Phuket Old Town offers a vibrant, colourful, and culturally rich backdrop for a pre-wedding shoot, contrasting sharply with the island’s famous beaches and viewpoints. It’s perfect for couples looking for a historic, “street style” shoot.

LocationThe central historic district of Phuket Town, away from the main beach resorts.

Early Morning (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM)Best Choice. Virtually no traffic, minimal crowds, and the softest, most beautiful light for the colourful buildings. Temperatures are also much cooler.

Lucky beach with Elephant

A pre-wedding shoot that includes an interaction with elephants at Lucky Beach (Tri Trang Beach area) in Phuket is a truly unique and memorable experience. This location is popular because it allows couples to take photos with the elephants on the beach and in the water.

LocationLucky Beach (or sometimes referred to as Tri Trang Beach) near Patong.

A professional pre-wedding package that includes the elephant shoot is generally more expensive than a standard beach shoot due to the camp’s fees and the limited shooting time. Budget at least THB 2,000 – 3,000 extra on top of your photographer’s base package just for the elephant access.

Best Time of Day: Early morning (9:00 AM – 11:00 AM) is often recommended. The water is calmer, the sand is less hot, and the light is softer than mid-day.

rock beach swing 

The Rock Beach Swing area in Phuket is a famous “Instagram hotspot” that offers numerous staged photo opportunities with stunning sea views, making it a popular choice for a segment of a pre-wedding photoshoot.

LocationSituated in the Karon Subdistrict, often described as being near the Karon Viewpoint.

Best Time of Day (Light): Early Morning (9:00 AM – 11:00 AM).

  • The light is soft, and the heat is less intense. Many reviewers recommend the 9:00 AM slot as the venue is less crowded.

Admission Ticket (Per Person)The entry ticket gives you access to all the photo spots and the swings. Estimate: THB 200 – THB 465 per person (for non-Thai residents).

Bamboo Beach

The location referred to as “Bamboo Beach” for a pre-wedding shoot in the Phuket region typically refers to Bamboo Island (Koh Pai), which is part of the Phi Phi Islands National Park. A shoot here is considered a premium, full-day island excursion.

Boat CharterYou will need to charter a private speed boat or longtail boat for the day to get to the island and move between different spots in the Phi Phi area (like Maya Bay if permitted for a quick fly-by shot).

Wang long view

The location “Wang Long View” is most likely referring to Wang Long Bay (Ao Wang Long) on Koh Phi Phi Don (or sometimes the Wang Long area of Phi Phi Island’s main viewpoint), which is a famous spot for its dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden, beautiful bay.
