Thai Marriage Service By Thai Attorneys
A Thai wedding generally consists of two parts: the legal part and the ceremonial part. These are done separately. There is no requirement of government documentation to have a religious ceremony, which is most common with Thai people. This is considered by many to be the real wedding. The legal part is performed at a local office ( Amphur )where the marriage is registered. The marriage certificate is in Thai language.
