Foreign couples can marry legally in Thailand by registering the marriage at a district office (amphur); a wedding ceremony or religious service alone is not a legal marriage. Each of you needs a document from your own embassy confirming you are free to marry, translated into Thai and then legalised by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and most district offices accept it only up to three months after issue. Rules change, so confirm the current requirements with the local registry and your own embassy before you book.
