TLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses the process of getting married in Thailand for foreign nationals, specifically an Australian and a Filipina couple. The original poster inquires about the need for a translator and seeks recommendations for agents to assist with documentation. Comments emphasize the importance of having all necessary documents with an apostille and certification from the Thai embassy. Suggestions are made regarding the difference between a legal marriage and a wedding ceremony, along with specific resources for assistance.
