TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the use of a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) issued in the UK for marriage purposes in Thailand. Participants confirm that the CNI is a necessary document proving eligibility to marry, and detail the legal steps required, including embassy verification and requirements to have the document in both English and Thai. Additionally, it is emphasized that the process must be undertaken at the UK Embassy in Bangkok, alongside necessary personal documents if previously married.
