Evening Banquet

 

The evening banquet was held in the Grand Siam Ballroom of the Siam Inter-Continental hotel. Approximately 890 people attended the party. Since Thai wedding invitation does not have RSVP, it's amazing that the number of guests who shown up and the number of seats matched to within 5%. (We had 10% spare seats.) Before the banquet, Aor was quite worried. Ko just accepted the fact that it would be chaos. Both were very pleasantly surprise for the surprisingly good match.

The gift boxes were designed by Ko's sister, Kay. Thai guests would write congratulatory notes and put some money in the invitation envelopes and put the envelopes in these boxes.
