This is an odd one, Thailand travel advice on gov.uk:
Still current at: 2 September 2016
Updated: 1 September 2016
Latest update: Summary – if you’re intending to marry in Thailand, some registry authorities are not accepting Affirmation of Marriage documents issued by the British Embassy in Thailand; you should check with your local registrar or district office where you intend to register your marriage if they will accept an Affirmation for Marriage from the British Embassy.
This may be related to a clampdown on such certificates from the Indian sub-continent that I read about today, due to the widespread use of false documents and perhaps, some Amphurs misinterpreting the advice given - who knows?
One to be aware of in any case.
