You don’t need to verify your marriage certificate as you were married in Thailand. What you will need to do is provide Immigration with a Kor Ror 2 document from the local amphur which confirms that your still married. You will have to do this every year to obtain your extensions.
Dont think embassies verify marriage certificates issued in Thailand for use in Thailand.
Some places require an updated certificate most dont and your original marriage cert should suffice. Need to check with immigration in Korat when you get there
