Support Local. Gift Beautifully.

Christmas on Koh Samui is about relaxed celebrations, thoughtful gifting and showing love to the local businesses that make our island so special. At Weddings on Samui, we are proud to be a family owned business on the island, and supporting fellow local entrepreneurs has always been at the heart of what we do. This Christmas, we wanted to shine a light on the incredible small businesses that bring creativity, craftsmanship and community spirit to Koh Samui.


We have created this festive gift guide filled with beautiful ideas sourced entirely from local businesses we genuinely love and support.
