You have an amazing home, darhut. Lots of character and charm, something that's missing in many of the modern builds.

They now also need a copy of the Marriage Registrar's book where the marriage was registered (our local Khet).

I married my wife in the US. Do I have to register the marriage in Thailand? How does it work when marrying a Thai overseas and at some point want to get a Non-O extention based on marriage?

No problem, I went with a one way to even on a tourist visa. Just don't book with travel agency, but directly with an airline.

Ditto. I flew from the US on Northwest with no problems. Neither the airline nor immigration mentioned the issue of a one way ticket. When flying to Europe from Bkk on a one way (bought the ticket in Bkk), Eva Air did question me but let me board because I had a Dutch residence visa.

"...Thai military (compulsory for Thais)..."

As young men, Thai's are eligible for the draft lottery.

Their chances of drawing a 'red ball' depends on how many people the army needs that year, plus where they draw. It is by no means compulsory to actually serve in the military.

Can someone explain how the military draft works for Dual Citizens (Thai/American)? If they are out of the country, in college in the US, are they still required to participate in the draft lottery?
