Hi vidmaster , just read you piece on new visa rules , I hope you can help , I am married to a Thai national ,we married in the UK so consequently have a UK marriage license . My question is where and who could I get in touch with "in Udon" to get the marriage certificate notarized and or translated, if needs be, so it is acceptable to the imigration department for my year extension in September
I can't give a definitive answer. However immigration will want you to register your marriage in Thailand.
However the best information I can give is that the first steps are
0)the first thing to do is go to your local Ampur with your wife and the documents you have and ask them exactly what they need, and what they want to keep.
1) legalise the marriage certificate with the FCO
https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised PO BOX 6255, Milton Keynes, MK10 1XX, Tel. 03700 002244
2)legalise the FCO legalised marriage certificate with the Thai embassy London

3) get the legalised documentation translationed and certified by the MFA in Bangkok (there are services in Udon that can do this step)
4) take the legalised certificate to your nearest Ampur (0) with your wife and register your marriage with them. NB do not permit the Ampur to keep the legalised documentation as you will probably need some or all of it for immigration.
5) get a Kor Ror 22
There's a suggestion that you may also need your birth certificate. to go through the same process
Also a certified copy of your passport from the British Embassy also translated and then legalised, probably also by the MFA
