In the month of june it is hot in chennai so you could go for a dress which is suiting to the climate and also everyone in chennai will be fascinated to see a thai girl wearing DHAVANI (known as half saree)
All the best and have a nice trip to chennai

if u r asking for the wedding,thenanswer is saree by all means.buy a chiffon embroidered saree with stars and sequins in a bright colour like deep red,turquoise blue or orange.complete yr garb by fantastic antique jewellery or pearl or american diamond jewellary.wear everything-necklace,bindi,earrings,match... bangles,rings and anklelets(payal)
no age bar,no region bar,no slim/fat bar-every woman can wear this.if u do as i am telling u will get a unique experience.

apart from wedding,ofcourse u can wear anything from skirts,jeans to capris etc,but if u want to get the fantastic experience and feel extremely feminine ,princess-like and gorgeous then go for embroidered salwar suits with flowing chunni.... and lots of matching bangles,big earrings and payals.....

i will tell u a secret-u coming from foriegn and wearing this indian stuff would make many people swoon....and envious....!

Welcome to India.
Wear whatever you like without showing much skin.

It'd be great to wear kanjiwaram sarees (for women) and lungi-kurta or dhoti-kurta (for men) at south Indian weddings!

In India most of the people who come to wedding ceremony wear traditional dresses ,, , I dont think u would be able to get into a sari and be comfortable ,, but why not try some "salwaar kameez" ...
Any way a dress or a evening gown would be fine , just dont show too much skin , ask the person to whose wedding u are going to about decency level ,, but i would think -- cleavage is a big no , but shoulders are fine ,,

In India, people usually wear sarees, especially those, who are already married. Young people, may wear salwars or some simple evening dresses.

You, actually, have only two options: whether to wear Indian dress, or simple evening dress. See as for the comfort, because there you will definitely dance and walk, sit - so it is difficult to do, if you've never wore saree before. You may take a risk and try it on. If no, then i would advice you to wear some nice long evening dress. Shoulders may be opened - it's okey, or if it is opened too much, you may buy some nice silk scarf over it.

Best of luck!

I can't answer from a cultural point of view, but I went to an Indian wedding last year (in Mumbai) and it's very cheap to buy authentic clothes out there - plus you get a great memento to remind you of the day ;-)
