Tarragona Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penelope Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

davethailand Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig15 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Mrs Bronco took my name, no problems, next step is for stepson, by deed poll I guess <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.
