Process for two foreigners to get married in Thailand?

[davidupatterson]

My Filipina partner and I would like to get married in Thailand this year. We live in Chiang Mai for a portion of each year and would like to do it here.

 

This is not related to immigration or for visa purposes, but I wasn't sure where (which forum) to ask.

 

Has anyone done the same and could advise me on the step by step legal process? Who should we advise/consult with to get started?

Contact your embassy.

IMO might be far easier to do it in one or other of your own countries. How difficult is it to do in the Philippines?

 

Can 2 foreigners actually get married at an amphur anyway? I'd have thought that would only apply if one was Thai. Sounds to me like it'd have to be done at an embassy.

 

If it's the ceremony you want, don't need to get married in Thailand for that, and the ceremony has no legal standing anyway.
