About Thailand and Cambodia, the cool-season weddings
Thai, Lao and Khmer weddings are mostly held in the cool dry months after Buddhist Lent and the harvest, from November to February, when the weather is milder. Monks bless the house early in the morning, and in Cambodia the wedding is a three-day event with the groom's procession and the tying of threads, often spaced around the full moons. Many couples look to an astrologer or a monk for a good date and avoid the weeks of Lent and the days of Pchum Ben.
