TLDR : Answer Summary
To volunteer in Thailand for 3 to 6 months, you should consider applying for a NON-O visa, which is suitable for long-term stays related to volunteering. Ensure your volunteering activity is officially recognized, as certain types of work may require specific visas. Regarding marriage, you can legally marry in Thailand, but you'll need to obtain the necessary documents, such as proof of freedom to marry and valid passports, typically from your local embassy. After marriage in Thailand, it is advisable to check the regulations for registering the marriage in the UK to ensure it's legally recognized there.
