Marriage

[Tarragona]

I'm interested to know from any gentleman who's been married in Thailand in the last couple of years whether your wife kept her surname or took yours. What was the thinking behind your/her decision?

[astral]

My wife took my surname, and was very happy to do so.

We are Mr & Mrs Smith

[billd766]

We were married in the UK but not in Thailand and my wife kept her family name and I am happy that she has done so.

On the other hand my first wife changed her name when we married and still keeps it. Don't know why.

[tuky]

My wife changed her surname, mainly so we all have the same name. We are Mr and Mrs tukyleith and Kitty tukyleith.

we were married in aussie many years ago now. my wife kept her original surname because her "na ayudhya" suffix is a useful tool in LOS and she also has a reasonbly well known family name in certain circles.

My wife took my surname, but my step-daughter still has my wife's ex-husband's surname. i would be interested to know if she can take my surname as well or not ?

I'm getting married next year and my gf wants to have my second name. Which means alot to me. So when we have kids they will grow up and carry on my name.

My wife is still under her family name as at the time I was told It would create a problem with land ownership etc.

I've been told otherwise since, Is it true?

Thai women married to farang can own land now. The farang has to sign some document, which states they make no claim to the land and that the money to purchase the land is hers or something like that. I just purchased two houses for my wife - no problems !!

It's not flash. The other house is for the mother-in-law, so she doesn't have to live with us !!

[kurgen]

that makes you a sensible flash bastard

[davethailand]

Thanks, I will now let her take my name (a great honour for her)

[kurgen]

that would make her Mrs Fat Bastard

[davethailand]

I'm not fat, its a medical condition.

Is this meant for me or Kurgan?

He's a mate actually just having a joke.

[Pink Mist]

Mrs Bronco took my name, no problems, next step is for stepson, by deed poll I guess

[dereklev]

Wife took my surname when she became pregnant. She wants the baby to have a British name amd passport.

Why I do not know

[Mig15]

My ex-wife never changed her name. Technically illegal, I think, but we never had any problems here or in the UK, or when we got divorced here.

Deedpoll in Thailand???

How?

My stepson wants to do the same thing, but the Thai's tell me I have to adopt him

in the UK..........

That means a change of nationality -- very difficult.
