How to get married in Thailand without the help of agent
I would like to share my first hand experience on how to get married in Songkhla, Hat Yai,Thailand. My partner and I went to Bangkok by flight, then took a train to Hat Yai. From the train station we walked to the nearby hotel and booked for two nights at Tune Hotel. Nice and clean room. We learnt later on that it is much cheaper to book online than walk in .We rested in the hotel for a while. We asked the receptionist where can we catch a tuk-tuk or van to Songkhla Masjid (Mosque) .It was only 10 to 15 minutes walk from our hotel.The area is located nearby a round about having fountain in the middle and you can see President Hotel in the same locality.There are a lot of tuk-tuk, vans parking by the road side. We showed the picture of the Songkhla mosque and asked the tuk-tuk driver and he seemed to know where the place is. For each person is charged BHT20. It was a 30 minutes ride from the town to the mosque. we got down and walked towards the mosque. The office can easily be found on the second floor.We were asked to to pay BHT450 at the counter and later were called inside another room for the aqad ceremony.The whole process took less than 15 minutes. The documents were ready in 30 minutes.You must carefully check all the details printed on each document for example your name, passport number etc...The clerk had to redo our documents because there was a typo error and she forgot to make photocopies of the immigration slip which we came to know later at the Malaysian Consulate. Fortunately, at the consulate, there were a few men waiting outside with their motorcycles.On of them after paying him BHT40 took my husband on his bike to the nearby shop to make photocopies. Submission of documents at the Malaysian consulate was a breeze. No hassle.It was a straight forward procedure. We were told to collect our attested documents the next day, Each copy is charged BHT100.

Comments: Due to its sheer scale this is quite an impressive building. It is located on the 'new' road between Hat Yai and Songkhla. Despite the considerable distance, it is easily visible from the Prince of Songkla University and up close it is even more impressive.
The mosque is set in a very quiet and peaceful location. Surrounded by open fields, it is close to the large canals that form part of Hat Yai's flood defence system draining rain water away from the city into Songkhla Lake. Cool, pleasant breezes blow through the mosque giving a little respite to the intense heat that is typical in southern Thailand.
It is quite isolated and there is plenty of space to park cars. I would imagine that on Fridays and Muslim holidays the mosque gets very busy. Many Muslims from other provinces make a point of visiting the mosque if they are in Songkhla province.
The mosque doesn't appear to have a name. When I asked, I was told, "mus-yit glaang jungwut songklaa" - Songkhla province central mosque.
