In 2011 I went to the US Embassy and got the marriageorce affidavit.  While I was inside my soon to be TW found a service called "Visa King" just up from the US Embassy.  For 12,000 baht they took care of the rest getting translations, copies, and Thai GVT services.  They escorted us to a Thai GVT office and we got the official Thai Marriage Document. 

Visa King then arranged to make translations and later mailed to us. 

The 12K baht price has probably gone up, but we were done by noon with no problems from the Thai Government, all paperwork and documents accepted.  I thought it was worth the price, and seeing the comments here I am thinking more so.

Did ours in Chiang Mai 2006 U.S. Consulate. Used Star Visa Service next door cost was 3000 baht and to my knowledge still is. You guys get stuffed left,right and center.

Freddy...A phone call to the Embassy, providing real or spurious reasons as to why an earlier appointment would be preferable, may bring results. The whole thing takes less than 5 minutes. British Embassy staff are lazy buggers in the main -do very little to assist us expats.

Pagan1. That's good to know. Thank you.

Prakhonchai Nick - my thinking exactly. I called the Embassy on Thursday and have submitted a written request for an earlier/urgent appointment. I've recieved an automated acknowledgment but no formal response as yet.

Thankyou all for the advice and guidance. Regardless of an earlier appointment or the one 29th March think I'll fly into Bangkok evening before, do the Embassy bit, and then use a translation/agent service to take care of the MFA bit and send to me. Given that mistakes can be made in the translation it would then be there responsibility to rectify it. If I go for the option of getting translation done and leave with MFA to send and something is wrong, I'd have to go back.

If you have a yellow book, or a pink ID card, make sure the spelling of your name in Thai is the same as on these items. If norhing,  then however the translator spells it is OK, but you live with it forever more.

I would double check that. Thursday is a national holiday.

Freddy, we spent 3 days  in Bangkok 2 years ago getting all the paperwork for our Marriage, on the morning of the third day we went to   
  Amper Bang rak not far from our hotel, thirst  to arrive, gave all the paperwork  to the lady at the desk, then came the big question to my wife to be, have you been married before, Yes, is this your married name on your ID card, Yes, then you cannot get married, you must change it to your maiden name,   brick1  So it was back to Lamplaimat Amper and got married their about a Month later.   oldmanwithstick

What happened to you wouldn?t surprise me 1 bit. They even ask for, if the girl has recently divorced, results from a pregnancy test before she can marry again

I believe remarriage for a Thai normally has to wait for 1 year after a divorce UNLESS they can show they are pregnant (presumably by the new husband to be)
