Rsquared Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 My wife has kept her maiden name, saves a lot of hassles with passports, id cards, drivers licence, house card.....need I go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The law was changed a few years ago to allow the wife to choose to use either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohnnyBKK Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 And Thais can change their official name to anything they like legally, completely independently of marital status. Not quite as easy as in NES countries, but certainly not forbidden. If only they stopped changing their chue len at the drop of a hat. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
