Is a foreign marriage valid in Thailand

Maybe you can answer my question. Is a marriage under foreign law valid in thailand? Say, we (foreign and thai national) married in Germany and want to register our marriage in thailand. How do we do this, do we need to the amphur in thailand to marry again under Thai law or do we go to the Thai embassy in Thailand to have it certified? Thanks.
