About Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa
Sheraton Hua Hin is the convention-scale beach resort of the Hua Hin coast: The Chandelier ballroom seats 480 at rounds and takes 800 standing, the Grand Ballroom another 280, and an oceanfront lawn takes the ceremony — 17,600 sq ft of event space three hours from Bangkok. For an Indian wedding of 300 to 700 that wants a Thai beach without the Phuket flight, and a ballroom for everyone, it is the coast's answer.
Panigrahana designs the oceanfront lawn for sunset and The Chandelier for a wide stage, and plans the Bangkok–Hua Hin transfer as a function in its own right.
- The Chandelier — 9,558 sq ft, 480 at rounds / 800 reception, the largest ballroom on the Hua Hin coast (Marriott)
- Grand Ballroom — 280 at rounds / 500 reception (Marriott)
- Oceanfront lawn, gardens and poolside for the ceremony
- Three hours from Bangkok by road

Can we bring our own decorator to Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa?
Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, Cha-Am, Thailand, like most premium Thailand venues, works with an empanelled list, and outside decorators are generally admitted subject to the venue's approval and access rules. Panigrahana handles that approval, load-in timing and setup coordination, with decor load-in typically 24–48 hours before the first function. The result is a mandap and set designed for Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa's actual dimensions rather than a catalogue package.

Peak dates in that window are booked 9–12 months out, so families fixing a muhurtham should hold the date early.

Tell us your dates and we check availability the same day.

All are Thailand hotel venues of similar scale, so the decision usually turns on room count, the catering policy and which space fits the mandap design. Panigrahana walks all three on one visit and sends a side-by-side estimate.
