Fireworks F.A.Q.

Do I Need Permission To Buy Fireworks Or Have A Display In Thailand?

Yes. You need permission from at least a village Kamnan for a very small display or from the Local Government Office (Or Bor Tor) or local police for a larger display. We will arrange all of this as part of our service for your event.

Is It Possible To Decide When I Arrive in Thailand If I Will Have Fireworks For my Event / Wedding?

It's definitely possible, but not advisable. Apart form the fact that we are very busy during the season, we will need to coordinate with the management of the venue where your event will be held as well as local authorities to arrange a display. We would advise checking at very latest a couple of weeks ahead of your event to make sure of availability.

Can You Arrange A "Surprise" Fireworks Display?

Yes, it's one of our specialties! The Fireworks Company Thailand arrange surprise fireworks and fire shows for weddings, marriage proposals and other events regularly, we will coordinate with you at all stages from first contact to firing the display so that total surprise is achieved. We also arrange full event packages with accommodation, flower arrangements, romantic dinner and airport transfers to really wow your guests.

Can You Arrange A Display For Me Anywhere In Thailand?

Almost! Our company is based in Krabi on the Andaman Coast of central Thailand, and we offer our services in Phuket, Krabi, Phang Nga, Trang and Ko Samui / Ko Phang Ngan. We can also arrange your display in almost any other area of Thailand, but we will need at minimum two weeks prior notice and there may be some extra travel expenses incurred. We can not arrange displays in downtown Bangkok, but we can help you find someone who can.

Can I Choose The Types Of Fireworks Used In My Display?

Generally yes, during the planning stages we can advise you on the types and sizes of fireworks best suied to your event / location. But you can also let us know of any special requests (e.g. Heart Shaped Shells) and we will try to include them into your display. Please have a look at out Fireworks Types information pages to help you to decide if you have any particular favourites.

Does The Fireworks Company Also Provide Sky Lanterns?

Yes. Although since they are now so widely available, generally they are provided as a service directly by the resort. If you need any assistance or they are not offered by the resort / hotel where you are staying please contact us for info.

Is It safe To Buy And Use Fireworks From Beach Vendors?

Absolutely Not! In many areas of Thailand beach touts are selling large fireworks direct to tourists, this is completely illegal and if you are caught you, not the vendor, will suffer the legal consequences. if you cause physical harm to anyone or damage to any property, these are likely to be severe and extremely expensive.
