Thai law is very straight forward when it comes to getting legally married in Thailand. For a marriage to be legal it must be registered at a District Office(Amphur) anywhere in the country.

Religious ceremonies alone do not make a marriage legal.

The conditions and requirements applied to Thais and foreigners are different and are clearly laid out here:

http://www.thaiembassy.com/marriage/marriage.php

All Non-Thais must obtain a certificate of freedom to marry in order to comply with the above guidelines. This can be obtained from their own country embassy in Thailand.

The relevant department of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs(referred to in instructions link above)is located at:

The Legalisation Division
Department of Consular Affairs
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
123 Chaeng Wattana Road,
Laksi District, Bangkok 10210

Tel : +66 (0) 2 575 1056–59, 0 2981 7171
Fax : +66 (0) 2 575 1054
Email : consular04@mfa.go.th
(08:30 – 15:30 hrs)

You should note that you must be resident in the Kingdom for three days before you can register a marriage.

This is NOT true.

Like every other foreign national marrying in Thailand you have to follow the rules. You can read the same on the AUSTRALIAN embassy web site. Here is what it says:

"Getting Married in Thailand

Follow the link below for information on the steps Australians need to take to to ensure that their marriage in Thailand is recognised as a valid marriage in Thailand and Australia. The Embassy cannot provide information on other issues, such as organising celebrants or venues.

Registering marriage performed in Thailand

For information on a Thai spouse’s immigration to Australia please contact the Immigration Section of the Embassy (DIAC) on 02-3446400 or via e-mail immigration.bangkok@dfat.gov.au.

The information is exactly the same as what I published.
