Hope this is a valid question in this group. I'm back in BKK and about to register our US marriage in Thailand. I think I've got all the steps down, except the very end... When we go to the Amphur, do we absolutely need to have my wife's Tabian Baan? I read it was more of a suggested document than a requirement. She left it in the US...so just trying to see how necessary it really is once we get to the Amphur. Thanks in advance!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The questioner is seeking clarification on whether a Tabian Baan (Thai house registration book) is absolutely necessary for registering their US marriage at an Amphur in Bangkok, as their wife has left it in the US. Responses suggest that while it may not be strictly required, it is often recommended, and local practices may vary. Some members also mentioned the possibility of retrieving a copy while in Thailand.
