How to marry in Thailand
For an in depth discussion with help on the legal requirements to get married in Thailand for couples from all countries see 'The Complete Guide to Weddings in Thailand'.
Thai marriage regulations seem quite complicated - but you can do it yourself or with the help of the resort or organizer of your wedding. For the trickier bits some resorts charge extras to make it simpler for you but you can save money if you want.
To get married in Thailand you will have to prepare some paperwork at home & also visit your home embassy for an affidavit in Bangkok (or consulate in Chiang Mai if your home country has one.)
Some embassies fast track this so it can be done quickly.
Basically you will need proof that you are who you say you are & that you are free to marry. If you are divorced - you will need proof - same also if you are a widow/er. For this you will need the affidavit from your embassy.
For a wedding to be legal & valid in Thai law (& through the Geneva Convention legal in your home country), the marriage must be registered with a Registrar at an Amphur Office
(District Office) - usually located in or near the resort where will get married.
