Part 4 in our Honeymoon Series, we’re exploring a Thailand Honeymoon…
The pros and cons of Thailand on a budget.
If you are celebrating your wedding on Maui, then Thailand is the perfect honeymoon location! Thailand is only a couple short flights from Hawaii and everything is super affordable! A great way to unwind after a romantic, intimate wedding on Maui!
Check out these fun Thailand Honeymoon photos from Maui’s own award winning
Family and Wedding Photographer, Penny Palmer.
Packing Tips…
If you are limited in the number of free suitcases you’re allowed to take, remember that there are amazing laundry services in every town – 2 outfits laundered for less than the cost of a Coke at home. Splurge and pack less.
Food Tips… Thailand offers every major U.S. Brand item you could possibly miss with the exception of chocolate chip cookies. Oreos will have to suffice or go without. Check out their potato chips for about 30 cents – the best are Boat Noodle Flavor!
Enjoy the street food – HOWEVER, remember to bring 1 Pepto Bismol tablet for each day of your trip. Take 1 each morning and your stomach will thank you if you accidentally get a bit of unpurified water or too hot of a chili. This allows you to eat the cheapest foods possible without risking spending days in your room watching local TV.
Another top secret – if the flies like the food, you should move on. Never eat from a food cart that has flies – they transfer bacteria and leave larva behind.

When choosing a place to stay…
Keep in mind 1 key element when deciding how much you want to spend on accommodations. Often people who spend very little on accommodations will also keep a small reserve for activities. That means that the very cool pool and gym you see offered at your inexpensive condo complex will also be packed with people throughout your stay. Travelers with a larger budget staying in slightly nicer accommodations will tend to be off on day trips and tours leaving the complex common areas available for you to enjoy at your leisure. A little extra spend gives you a lot more fun in the long run.
Staying in a brand new complex sounds appealing, doesn’t it? Everything brand new and not broken in yet (read into this very hard beds)… This also means tolerating construction noises, paint thinner smells, and swarms of visitors touring the complex on “vacation freebie tours”.
If you’re looking for relaxing, you might consider the complexes that have been around a few years already or give these new ones time to fix the little problems.
Follow blogs and YouTube to find cost effective ways of having fun before you select your destination cities. This will help you be aware of any pitfalls that other budget travelers might have fallen into before you. You’re also welcome to email us if you have Honeymoon Planning Questions.

I was never the girl that dreamed about their fairytale wedding growing up. I never imagined my perfect wedding dress, hair style or decor. Not to Imply that I never thought it would happen one day, it was just not something I pictured as a little girl.
When Rob and I got engaged, I had NO IDEA where to even start! I joined all of the bridal email list to hopefully gain some clarity. It didn’t work, lol. Overwhelmed doesn’t even begin to touch on how I was feeling.
After Rob and I decided that we would “elope” in Maui, it got even more overwhelming. How was I supposed to plan our wedding 4,605 miles away. I googled so many companies. I almost chose a different company until they sent me a sample wedding video. It made me cringe.
I started focusing more on the reviews of these companies. I came across Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and loved the reviews I was reading. I reached out one night and the planning began.
We put 100% blind trust in these women solely based on social proof and that is why I hope anyone reading this, that might be on the fence, chooses AMDW!
From the start, Darci put my mind at ease. She was readily available for me whenever I wanted to talk, even with a 6hour time difference and anytime I started to panic, she would bring me back to normal and reassure that everything would be great! She scheduled our marriage license appt, she linked me up with Bea from Classic Elegance Artistry who made me feel like a princess and she made sure every single detail was perfect! We had an awesome unity sand ceremony that included my son, who also got a Lei during the Lei exchange.
These 2 ladies then hiked almost a MILE down a cliff to accommodate a photo shoot that we really, really wanted. It was hot and uncomfortable but once we were down there, Penny was in her zone. She is so professional and so good at what she does. I could not have asked for more from these two!
For the little girl who never dreamed about her wedding day, If I had, I am POSITIVE it was exactly how June 29th 2018 went.
We are glad to have you both as our Ohana now! We love you!
Mahalo!
P.S. Small or large weddings! They will get it done for you!”
“I went online to look for a wedding planner in Maui. The variety of packages offered by Aloha Maui Dream Weddings is what first caught my attention. I called the phone number and talked to Darci on the phone. I knew immediately that I had found the right person to help us plan our sunset beach wedding. Darci made our wedding a fun and totally stress-free event. Penny Palmer Photography Team took beautiful pictures of our wedding. Darci and Penny are a great team, and made our wedding a totally comfortable and fun event. And they also helped us with questions we had about things to do while we were in Maui. We plan to go back to celebrate anniversaries in the future, and we will call these gals when we are there. Darci and Penny are friends for life!“

There is such a concept as an “affordable destination wedding” and Maui can be exactly what you are hoping for. Depending on the number of guests you invite and the decor you dream of and the time of year, Maui can be the affordable destination for any budget.
The Hawaiian Islands are each very unique. Understanding the differences between them might help you select which island is best for your affordable destination wedding. Lanai and Molokai are the smaller islands in the chain and are great for day trips while staying on one of the other, larger islands.
Oahu, being the most populated, draws tourists that seek lively night life, densely populated shopping malls and of course, Waikiki! This also means more cars, more traffic, more congestion.
Kauai is the destination for hikers, explorers and tourists needing to “get away from it all” for a bit. Kauai offers dense jungles and lush rainforests. This is a perfect location for the short island hop off of Maui.
The Big Island Hawaii is the only island with an active volcano and offers lots of miles of expansive black lava fields and course-textured beaches.
Then there is Maui. Maui no ka oi.
Maui offers miles of sandy beaches and ocean side estates and condos – the most perfect island for an affordable destination wedding. With this abundance of beautiful nature comes options for many things to do and adventures to be had. Maui was voted the #1 island in the world by TripAdviser for 2016. Spend your days diving, snorkeling, hiking under waterfalls, para-sailing, shopping or exploring the amazing restaurants. Along with all these opportunities for adventure, Maui also offers the most affordable destination weddings out of all the Hawaiian islands.
Your romantic beach or ocean side wedding doesn’t have to be out of reach. You have many choices in the world for affordable destination weddings – Jamaica, Thailand, even Mexico. But Maui offers convenience, luxury and affordability all within the safety and security of the United States.
We have travel agents that specialize in getting you to and around Maui. They offer their services at no charge to you or your guests as part of our wedding packages.
Kahului Airport (OGG) is an easily maneuverable airport with easy to find rental car counters and of course, 2 Starbucks! We can provide lei greetings, limo service or chauffeured car service to whisk you from Baggage Claim to the front door of your accommodations.
