Registering divorce.

[malt25]

Hi all. Some advice... info please.

I married a Thai national in 2009 in an Ampur in Bangkok. Divorced in Australia in 2012, we were both residing in Australia at that time. I'm now on retirement extension here in LOS & the ex is still resident in Australia. My current plan is to remain residing in Thailand until I drop off the perch.

I have had the Aussie divorce documents translated & certified.

The issue. In the unlikely event that I wish to marry again, or, for other official Thai matters, should I register the Australian divorce here in Thailand ? If so, where would I go to register the divorce ? The local Ampur ? A government department in Bangkok ?

In the event of me being seriously or fatally injured, kidnapped, arrested & charged with some offense, I assume that Thai officialdom would / might, try to contact my ex, as they would probably consider that we are still married.

All serious advice, info, suggestions much appreciated.

Cheers..... Mal.
