Tired of Registering at District Offices? Discover 5 Most Unseen Locations to Register Marriage on Valentines Day
Although the current trend of organizing “weddings” has declined due to economic conditions, the “marriage registration” remains a crucial milestone that modern couples value. Marriage registration has evolved beyond a mere legal transaction; besides securing rights related to asset management, taxes, and welfare benefits for future family stability, couples in 2026 also see it as a “declaration of commitment” that most clearly reflects their identity.
Data from the Department of Provincial Administration reports that on 14 Feb 2025 GMT+7, Valentine's Day, there were 17,458 marriages registered nationwide. This includes 1. Equal marriages totaling 2,039 couples—440 male-male and 1,599 female-female—and 2. Male-female marriages totaling 15,419 couples. The district office with the highest number of registrations remains Bang Rak District Office.
Additionally, modern couples prefer to shift their budgets from hosting parties to investing in “once-in-a-lifetime experiences.” This trend has increased the popularity of unique marriage registration venues, as love requires more than just witnesses in a square meeting room; it needs spaces that capture beautiful shared memories.
