First you need to go to the US Embassy in Thailand and get a letter stating you are not married in the USA. Then have it translated to Thai. Take your woman to an Amphur with 2 witnesses and file your marriage. 100 baht i think is the fee. Then take their document and get it translated and stamped at the Thai consulate. Take that English version to the US Embassy and register your marriage. Keep your documents for immigration if you plan to change Visa to a marriage visa. Just a note. The actual marriage is done in the Amphur. Any ceremonies that may be done with the family is unofficial. The document can be signed at the Amphur or by the monks I think. Either way the process is not difficult. And should you choose divorce in the future you do not need to return with her to divorce in courts like all the divorces in the USA. Get a lawyer in Thailand to make and use him to enforce a pre-nup if you get divorced. But as i said before you are best to keep your retirement visa if you have the money. Marriage Visas require a lot to get it and keep it. But that Visa does allow you to work if you want.

Her meaning for saying so grateful to be here. Means she is so grateful to be alive. It has nothing to do with Thailand. I think the OP misunderstood the reference and just wanted to write something good for Thailand

You do not need to go through all this BS..

for #1. You are better off keeping your retirement visa. less hassles with immigration that way. for #2 If you really want marriage visa. Perhaps it is easier if done outside of Thailand for #3. If you marry in the US. You need to go through divorce court in the US as well. This means both of you in court to settle it. If you marry in Thailand, your marriage is registered at the Thai and American Embassy but you would not need to go through a US court system to finalize your divorce. Also, do a prenup in Thailand using a Thai lawyer that never talks to your wife. Have it translated into English for your benefit as well. Make sure everything is clear in the pre-nup so there can be no misunderstanding or possibilities of arguments from the woman or her family. I have been married to the same Thai woman now for 11 years. We married in Thailand, Notified the US embassy of the marriage. I originally had a marriage Visa obtained inside Thailand but after I stopped working I changed it to retirement Visa because yearly it is so much easier to get extensions with 90% less paperwork and hassles. Good luck

actually couldn't he just get a copy of his passport notarized at his embassy?

Many Thai parents have a lack of understanding what exactly is sinsod. In reality it is a show of money that you are able to care for the woman financially. But in the North they consider it a payment for their child so they can keep the money. That sinsod should be going into a bank account under your wifes name or both your names. It is security that the woman can live if you choose to divorce her. https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand/dowry-in-thailand#:~:text=“Sin Sod”%2C or Thai,expected in the Thai culture. In my traditional Thai marriage, I showed almost 100,000 in cash and gold. Showed is the key word here. This sinsod was placed by the family under our bed because they just wanted to see that I was able to gather money to care for my wife if needed. The family had no interest to keep it. Showing the sinsod was only for the neighbors to see so the family would save face. In the North the Thai twisted it as a payment for their child. Which is not true. You could try telling the family you will show your ability to take care of their child but the family can not keep the sinsod because it is for your wifes security. This is culture in Thailand. The North because so many are poor think sinsod is about paying the family for their daughter same you would pay a mamasan for the bar girl to keep her long time haha.. If you do not want the family to see cash... Show a bank book page haha.. That would really burn them up to be so close to getting all that money and then only find a bank book showing it is inaccessible hmm. But in all reality, the family does lose face if there is nothing shown during the wedding. The hostility will never end unless you find a solution. It will make bigger problems for you with your woman in the future as well. Many foreigners are telling you to show strength. Stand up for yourself. They are correct that if you show weakness then the family will control you through your wife. Also, something to think about would be moving away only far enough that you do not need to deal with the family on a daily basis or their neighbors seeing you together. Just remember one thing. Although you have a good relationship with your wife to be. She is still going to keep her parents as #1. At best you will be # 3 or 4 in her life concerns. So you need to make sure your in-laws discontinue their harassment of her about this. If not then you will suffer the consequences in the future and lose her.

come on.. someone send this renowned Thai woman 100 baht to keep the foreigner out of trouble for stealing the display glasses ok.. haha..

Tried hypnosis in Thailand and it did not work. Do not waste your time and money for this. Amatuers at the very least.

nice beaches?

Not sure what this exactly means? Arrested and released with a fine? Arrested and detained? Story is very vague about it. With Pattaya reputation it most likely means they paid a fine (500 baht) then warned about such behavior. They really could not arrest,, charge and convict these men for the crime without a victim testifying. So I do not see them being detained.

Even Thais have to go through immigration checkpoints. But just as a Thai they will no longer need to leave Thailand or renew Visa. This is bad news for Thailand and a lose-lose situation. They still will not be getting more tourists. But, the ones they get will be more criminally minded with the ability to enter the country and stay without being checked on why they are staying so long here. My Chinese friend who works in China as a government teacher said that all Chinese government workers had their passports taken away during Covid and he went to check about getting another one recently and was told they are still not permitted to get their passports back. This makes me believe that the Chinese government is not wanting normal good citizens to have passports. I dread the idea of what type of Chinese that are actually allowed to have passports and leave China coming here.

perhaps you should have read the initial story. This private hospital was the closest to them. The government hospital they were sent to after was quite far.

Chinese always prefer to have sons. The fact this man left her and returned home when learning she has a daughter in her tummy is not surprising. The Chinese app though may be a new kind means to find surrogate women in Thailand. Personally, this country needs more girls in it and more babies from anyone. Thier was a report about this and the future of Thailand. I would not mind seeing more young women in Thailand either haha...

If only she knew to throw herself to the floor when he pulled her out and fake neck or back injury haha.. Then could charge the driver with assault.. hmm

Of course.. Thais do not get involved unless they have a gang to support them.. You should know that already..

Think you are wrong. Thai government will remain as it is. It is supported by the elite.

Hehe Puntid has a knack for sensationalism

yeah and if i saw this after just getting off the plane, I would turn around and beg to be sent home. Why do police always think outright displays promote confidence in Thailand. Especially when most people know if you actually see many officers standing in wait, it means you will be paying some tea money.

One could argue that this is similar to drawing a picture of the woman nude in their eyes. I think the only law they could have broken would be if they are making claims it is the real woman nude. However, there is a stupid Thai law now that says you can not take photos of other people haha... or yourself if it shows alcohol with their brand name showing haha.. and post them online. So maybe those boys are in trouble for this.

Your landlord is either not doing the filing and keeping the money or lying to you. Attached is the law for this which clearly states if you are registered there one time and leave the country for short periods or travel within Thailand and return you are not required to register again at the same household. Here is a photo of the law. TM30 reporting regulation.pdf

Seems noone has a valid answer to your question here. Mostly snide remarks and comments. If you do find it PM me.

You all probably would not believe me but here goes. Wife always complaining she has no boobs and wants to have a doctor make her fake boobs... So I bought her detachable fake silicon boobs and a butt plug sitting under the tree. Because we have 3 little kids it will serve as a nice joke because she is always complaining about the size of her boobs in front of them. Although the butt plug will be a private gift. Also got her an electric automatic curler for her hair. A dish set, a family sized tent, air beds, power generator, mini air conditioner for use in tents and all that is needed to cook and be comfortable outdoors for camping since she had mentioned wanting to start doing this with our kids. Then there are lots of new Korean fashion designer clothes and a few other small things. Made our kids use their own money to buy her some clothes and jewelry and make-up

Those laws do not apply to Thai... Didn't you know that?

You read this wrong... So your reply is not accurate.... The policeman asked for an additional 30,000 baht and some sex because he negotiated the deal for her to pay the 300,000 and have the charges dropped

i do not know about you all. But i have been to soi nana many times and have NEVER seen someone checking ID and checking for weapons except at the gogo bars where they glance in your bags and occasionally ask a woman to produce an ID. Soi Nana is more than just that one small stretch where all the gogo bars are placed.
