in non touristy Thailand it doesnt work that way, but you are doing it all right

Nice and Iocal and cheap. Few foreigners if any ever

Many places never ask for anything nor check in anything

@Steve *****

sometimes do, done it many times and had major issues twice. Depends on the person you come across at immigration

@Rob ******

they ask sometimes and can be a big issue

I did this for china WHILE IN Thailand. In my case it was from South Africa. There are agencies that do sworn translators and notarize them. And handle the embassy side of things. You have to look online Google. It's simple. You send them, you pay and they give the internationally accredited acceptation and stamps. Cant recall the name but Google will sort you out
