It depends on what you mean by getting married in Thailand. If you've already been married in the US, then probably she just wants the ceremony in Thailand, but not the legal work. If that's the case, you don't need to do any paperwork. Just plan and have the ceremony. If she wants to be legally married in Thailand, first ask yourself why she wants this if you're already legally married in the US.

My wife needs to change the name on her ID card, bank accounts, and retirement from the government, and also remove her name from her ex-husbnads house record. This is the first chance we have had to accomplish all these things. It is our first trip back in 5 years.

My Thai wife and I were married in the US, but now she wants to be married in Thailand also. I was previously married. Does anyone know what douments will be required and do they have to be translated or can they be authenicated at the embassy?

My wife and I will be moving to either Chantaburi or Rayong in July. It has been a few years since we have been back to Thailand and I have questions about the cost of living in those areas. I have a retirement income of 90,000 baht each month and a little over 3,000,000 baht in savings. Will we be able to live fairly nice without having to dip into our savings each month? Thanks in advance for your comments.

I am retired and married to a Thai. We are moving to Thailand in July but would like to travel outside the country often. Which would be the best visa to apply for based on these facts?

You can get insurance with Bupa Thailand at a fraction of the rate of BUPA international, though the service reflects this cheap rate.

The point of my post is that they ask for no documentation at all, just an address in Thailand. 25,000ish baht got me Platinum cover, with very acceptable levels of cover.

Maybe this could be a way for you to go.

Thanks for the information. I will contact them today.

I am moving to Thailand in July and was wondering if anyone has information about where to purhcase medical insurance if you are over 65?

This is my first post, but have been monitoring for over a year.  Planning on retiring in a few weeks and moving to BKK with my Thai wife.  Have found more information on visas than I ever expected.  Still a little confused, but working my way through it.
