There is a big difference between marriage to a Thai and marriage to a Farang. My wife and I do our own extensions, no agent, she leads with retirement, I follow as Spouse. She has the 800,000 in the bank, I have nothing. Only once a problem 2 years ago, we had the apostile nonsense to go through with our marriage certificate: the same one they accepted the previous ten years!
