Aleeady married in USA - Can we also get married in Thailand?
I think the answer would be NO however you could go down the route of having a monks blessing service many Thais do this but it means you are not formally married but as you said that you are already married I think the blessing would suffice . You can have as many monks as you want all you have to do is give each one food to eat and an envelope with money enclosed let’s say 1,000bht for the head monk and 500 Bht to the other monks hope this helps
