Changed surname after marriage was registered in Thailand

My wife and I got married in Sweden in 2012. In the beginning of 2013 we had the marriage registered in Thailand at amphur. We decided that my wife should keep her thai surname.

 

Later in 2013 I changed my surname from a very common one, to a more unusual. I have tried to update the marriage registration with my new surname a couple of times in Thailand, but have never brought the right documents according to amphur.

 

Now we are going to divorce and my wife is moving back to Thailand. Its easy for us to divorce in Sweden, but how to do it in Thailand? 

 

I think I have figured out how to properly register my new surname and register the divorce:

 

1 Get a proof of my name change, proof of family and our marriage licence from Sweden

2 Let Notarius Publicus bind the documents and get a apostille stamp

3 Send the binded and stamped documents to swedish foreign ministry and have them legalized

4 In Bangkok, have the documents translated to thai

4 Go to foreign ministry and have them legalized in Thailand

5 Go to see my wife and take her to amphur to register my new surname and then apply for divorce

 

Is it anything I am missing here?
