There is almost no direct cost - you record marriage at a District Office anywhere in Thailand and the requirement for foreigner is an Embassy letter (which will likely cost in the 1-2,000 baht range and that must be translated into Thai and recorded at Ministry of Foreign Affairs to make it legal (perhaps another 1-2,000 baht. Actual registration fee is only a few baht (believe less than 100) but you may want to provide a tip for witness service and if you want officials to issue at an outside ceremony there will be an additional official charge. Most foreign Embassies will have full details on there Bangkok web sites.

There is no fixed price - I provided a range and you can likely find the cost of Embassy paperwork with a check of your Embassy web site. If UK, as it appears may be the case from your other posts, they have a very good and complete web site. What does it cost for a restaurant meal in the UK? Suspect it can very - so can marriage costs. If you include SinSot gift it may go over a million baht in addition to what I have listed. One might get the impression love might not be a motivating factor from posts so far?
