NSTnation: Many Malaysian couples who planned to tie knot were willing to travel to Narathiwat to get married at our Narathiwat Islamic Council office. But since last year, they have changed and prefer to go to Songkhla.

But lately, many of them prefer to go to nearby Songkhla province to get married at its central mosque.

"It happened after the Malaysian authorities issued a directive that every couple must obtain marriage verification letters from the Malaysian Consulate-General in Songkhla. Despite the new regulation, Aziz, who is a Songkhla Islamic Council committee member said the Malaysian authorities have given some “flexibility” to make it easy for couples to tie knot across the border.

Thailand’s Islamic authority has recorded a steady increase in the number of applications from Malaysians to obtain marriage verification letters since 2011.
