What Is Latest We Can/should Arrive At Ban Rak Amphur?

[bangkokburning]

Wife has topunch in at workbefore we can go to amphur. Expect we will arrive around 1030am.

Thanks

[Mario2008]

That should be no problem. Normally should not take longer then 30 minutes (besides waiting for your turn).

[bangkokburning]

Thanks Mario.

We will take:

Originals:

Marriage certificate

Passports

Thai ID

...and two copies of each. They can take what the want if any of it.

Is there not a requirement for the future wife's tabien baan/housebook to register the marriage at the amphur? Original?

[Mario2008]

I don't believe that is recorded in the household registration, only the ID-card needs to be updated.

May I ask why you are going to the amphur if you already are married?

Fair point Beano. Ha ha. I completely misread the thread as being about registration of marriage. Thanks to Mario for answering though! Just on that, presumably the ID card only requires updating if the wife wants to assume her husband's surname? Or any other alterations?

Rather than start a new thread, can someone give me directions to Bang Rak amphur? Can't find a thing on Google. Near Sala Daeng BTS right? Walking distance?

Also whilst searching for the above, I read a post about interpreters being required use at this amphur for non Thai speakers getting married? Surely the wife-to-be would do if ones Thai wasn't up to it?

Not walkingdistance. Take a taxi from Sala Daeng, costs arround 40 baht. If the driver dont know where Bangrak Amphur is, tell him to take you to the Bangrak Police Station, guess most of the drivers know where that is (just across the soi for the amphur, distance 30 meters).

Thanks for replying olek. In the end we just got a taxi all the way from our hotel. Had to try more than one driver to be sure he knew where he was going, but he got us there ok.
