Hi there,

I know this is two years back, but why didn't you try to change at centera mall (Bkk bank) or the money changer just outside the mall?

I used to change all my money to thai baht first in singapore before heading to udon, but now I realized that changing in udon (the two places mentioned above), the rates are better than that of singapore.

Hmmm. Correct me if I'm wrong. But I always change in thai after realizing that rates SG is lower than changing in thai. Unless the money changer I use in Sg is no good hahaha but I doubt so cause the rates difference is almost 0.6 points, can't be the money changer so lousy until like that, right? Hahaha.

Will check out this centera mall when I go back to Udon, anyway the rates at Khao San is good, but BKK airport rates are terrible, I think airport rates are usually terrible. I also remember the MBK rates also not that good, around 24+ during my last visit in 2016.

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

Image
You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation ...
