Slay on Your Big Day With a Beautiful Phuket Wedding
Thailand’s landmark marriage equality law officially took effect on January 23, 2025, making it the first country in Southeast Asia to grant same-sex couples the same rights as heterosexual couples, following its royal endorsement and parliamentary approval.
The law replaces gendered terms like “husband” and “wife” with gender-neutral “individuals” and “spouses,” ensuring full equality in rights, including adoption, inheritance, and medical decisions. Now, a year later, Thailand is a top choice for LGBTQ couples tying the knot.
With uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea and its picture-perfect sunsets, the sleekly designed KALIDO event space in Phuket is a contemporary venue that combines understated elegance with functionality.
Nestled on the southern tip of Bangtao Beach, KALIDO performance and event venue provides the perfect backdrop for private events.
Olivier Gibaud, General Manager of Twinpalms Hotels & Resorts, shares: “KALIDO was born out of a vision to offer a true oceanfront venue that doesn’t compromise. Now reimagined and reborn as a flexible and dedicated event space, it’s a place created purely for celebration and connection.”
A Private Canvas
KALIDO was created as a purpose-built venue, not an adapted multifunctional space; standing alone to ensure full exclusivity for every occasion. Guests are invited to host elegant ceremonies on the lawn, intimate celebrations under the stars or large-scale gala dinners with total flexibility and control. With a retractable roof, air-conditioning and pulsed air cooling, the venue is fully weather-ready for daytime, sunset and evening events. A private driveway, parking area and controlled access ensure complete privacy for every booking.
Picturesque photography areas include a wide oceanfront staircase, a long ceremony aisle and uninterrupted sea backdrops, offering striking moments from arrival through to the final toast.
