Hi Gary/Em,

I was married in Thailand (albeit a decade ago). The easiest way is to use a marriage bureaux (there's plenty in Wireless Road - near the Embassy) - they will tell you the paperwork you need and do the translations etc for you, they usually take you to the Amphur (sometimes jumping the queue) and get you registered - then they will do an official translation of the marriage cert - this is then accepted in most countries. Will cost 5k to 10k I guess, all told (Baht). Look some up and give them a call - or get the Mrs too - PS: I'm assuming Em is Thai.

You may also want to call your Embassy to check what paperwork you may need and to try and get it - divorce cert., freedom to marry etc.

Good luck
