When we married nearly 20 years ago it was law in Thailand (or at least we was told so) that my wife took my last name. Now when we get older and she most likely ending up sitting in Thailand alone when I pass away we have thought it maybe could be better if she have here Thai last name only or at least as a middle name. Is that possible, where is it done (office) and what kind of paperwork need to be prepared?

Thanks

My lady changed back to her original maiden name when we came to Thailand (we married in the UK and she never took my name).

 

I'm pretty sure she did it at her local amphur office. Hopefully someone will have the exact details.

Yup Thais change their names like the weather. More difficult to get it sorted in the uk as u have to do a deed poll, advertise the name change for creditors etc
