I tried using the add a link icon but I goofed.

Some interesting stuff there about owning land etc. Too bad they change the rules every 6 months.

I think you have to go through the ministry of foreign affairs. If you are within the USA, you can do it via the consulate. Here is the english version:

Perhaps something here on changing name in passport (but I don't read Thai):

Here is what I know

I have a some kind of paper from governor of state (where we got marriage) issue for us (me) to send to Thai consulate about my name change. And will let Thai government know about our married also i guess.

I am not yet send that since my visa still good until 2011 so, I called Thailand consulate and ask about this. I don't want to go there and change the name on passport myself since now they required that you must go there in person (e-passport need biometrics)

They told me that, if the date on visa still good at least 6 months before a trip you can just use that one with a certified copy of your married license.
