The Underwater Wedding Fair in Trang, now in its 15th year, is held to promote cultural tourism. This year more than 30 couples will tie the knot and get a chance to join several activities from Feb 11-13. On the first day, they join a ceremony called Kin Niew at Tubthiang Garden in which couples are served sticky rice with chicken curry, a local dish reserved for weddings only. On the second day, they ink marriage certificates, either under the crystal-clear sea off Koh Kradan or in the spectacular Morakot Cave, after which they proceed to a party on Viva Tai Samut Beach. On the last day, they get to experience Trang's diverse cultures and lifestyles, according to Salil Tohtubthiang, chairman of the Trang Chamber of Commerce.
