I would remove your comment. Thailand has very strict defamation laws. Dont name and shame in Thailand.

Start researching. This wont be as simple to ask a couple of people online, you have to put in the work. I started with a paper from my embassy stating that I am 'free to marry'. To get that paper you need a bunch of other papers. You need legalization's, translations, more legalization's.

With your 'Affirmation of marriage' paper (and a bunch of others) you can go to your local Ampur and get married on paper. Your wife, or her family, might also want some other ceremony, talk to her about it. Does her family expect a dowry?

Changing your visa to a Non-O 'marriage visa' is a whole new story and even more work, also depending on which immigration office you use.

You got a long road ahead. Goodluck.

I know the perfect little spot for you in Narathiwat. Or you prefer Chiang Rai?

Thai immigration love stamps. I was very happy with this 'visa supporting document', how they call it, provided by my embassy (Dutch). It still needs legalization by the Thai ministry of foreign affairs, so all and all a pricey document. That was Trat immigration and can be different elsewhere. But it went way faster then hoping to be able to open a bank account and transfer funds there for two months.

Roojai I can not get for some reason.

I have read through this a while back but thank you. I went for an option via MisterPrakan in the end. They are quick with replying, good in English. Good 3rd party insurance up to 10M baht and personal to some extend, I think its 200k per accident. Not many offer 1+ right now it seems. I will still have a look at the companies you mention, thanks again!

Thanks for the info Klaus. The Roojai looks like a good pick, nice website but they dont seem to insure people in my area code. Something is blocking the quote at least. Will try to reach out to them.

@Nigel ********

was just emailing for a quote. Any experience with them?

@Adam *******

awesome, will have a look thanks!

Yes I have the motorbike license! But will change it in my post thanks.
