Timeless Riverside Elegance on the Chao Phraya — Bangkok’s Most Legendary Hotel
Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok is one of the world’s most celebrated luxury hotels and a peerless setting for a Indian destination wedding on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. With over 145 years of heritage, the legendary Authors’ Wing, the riverside Sala Rim Naam Thai pavilion, and the elegant Royal Ballroom, the hotel pairs timeless grandeur with the impeccable, intuitive service Mandarin Oriental is known for around the world.
Couples choose Mandarin Oriental for its riverfront ceremony settings, refined ballroom and garden spaces, world-class culinary teams, and a level of personalised attention that makes every moment effortless. Whether you are planning an intimate riverside ceremony or a multi-day Indian or international celebration, Niramit Creations brings the planning, design, and production expertise to make it flawless.
The Royal Ballroom is the hotel’s grand celebration space, while riverside gardens, the historic Authors’ Wing, and the iconic Sala Rim Naam pavilion offer distinctive settings for ceremonies, welcome dinners, and intimate gatherings. Capacities vary by layout — contact Niramit Creations for the full capacity chart.

TIP 1: Cross the river to Sala Rim Naam — the hotel’s teakwood Thai pavilion on the Thonburi bank, reached by the Oriental’s private shuttle boat, is a spectacular setting for a welcome dinner or ceremony.
TIP 2: Book the Riverside Garden & Verandah for an outdoor ceremony — the Chao Phraya backdrop at golden hour is unmatched. Reserve 12+ months ahead for peak season (November–February).
TIP 3: Use the historic Authors’ Wing for intimate moments — the legendary Authors’ Lounge is perfect for a tea ceremony, first look, or small family gathering.
TIP 4: Arrive by river — the Oriental’s private pier connects to BTS Saphan Taksin. Arrange a hotel boat or long-tail entrance for guests for a memorable arrival.
We used Niramit as our wedding planners for a big Indian wedding in Bangkok in November 2025 — they were INCREDIBLE! Planners that understand the requirements of an Indian wedding and deliver while seamlessly integrating Thai elements.
Niramit exceeded all our expectations as wedding planners throughout the entire journey. I was initially skeptical about hiring a planner but Palkin made the whole process seamless and stress-free.
My destination wedding was last month in Thailand! We chose Niramit Creations as our wedding planners and couldn’t be happier. Special shoutout to Palkin, Anoop, and the whole team!
We couldn’t have asked for a better planning team! Palkin and Amy brought our dream wedding to life. Planning a five-day celebration in Thailand from the USA seemed daunting, but from the very first call they made it effortless.
Palkin and her team orchestrated the most perfect and stress-free elopement imaginable, even on incredibly short notice! I reached out on a Friday for a ceremony the following Monday — a truly last-minute request!

Niramit created an experience that we will not forget! As a groom’s mom I was worried, but Palkin and Niramit had everything under control. Each person in the wedding planning team was outstanding.
The entire team of Niramit Creations made my daughter have the dream wedding she always wanted. They helped us so much in making this dream a reality. Definitely the best team out there!
