As Ubonjoe stated, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the proper place to have any document translations certified for legal use in Thailand and the US. But there may be additional paperwork required to qualify the document for legal use in the US. This process is referred to as document authentication. I have had documents from the US authenticated for use in Thailand. I have not authenticated Thai documents for use in the US. You might want to check what additional documentation is needed to have the document fully accepted in the US.

I checked with my wife and Chulalongkorn can perform the analysis for you. Contact me if you need further information.

My wife is a PhD candidate in microbiology at Chulalongkorn University. From what I know about her program, I would think you could obtain the analysis you need at any of the Thai universities that have good science departments that offer graduate programs in microbiology. Some suggestions are Chulalongkorn, Mahidol, and Thammasat. I am sure there are others.
