At last an answer to my simple question without going off sprouting irrelevant crap that I already knew. Thanks.

All your comments are still not relevant to my question. Also it is irrelevant how many times prior to now he has travelled to Australia.

He has done 3 trips to Australia using the same details as I outlined, first being in 2006, second in 2009 and third in 2019. Your comments are not relevant to my question.

Read what I said, I had to be present or sign a form when he got his first, second and third Thai passport as I was a parent. It's the same if you apply for a passport for your child from your home country, the mother has to sign/agree etc on a form. I got his first Thai passport when he was 6 months too but had to sign a form or be present to sign the form. I was told as the passport office at Buriram that he was not considered an adult until 19 so I had to agree/sign for his passport as his father.

There is a slight variation in his christian name, namely the English version uses his first initial as a Ch and his Thai version has it as J. Same as my wife's different versions of her first name in Thai, her ID card has W insted of V and her passport has a V. Go figure?

Because here in Thailand he needed both parents to be present when he obtained his Thai passport at 18 years old. Being 18 in Thailand does not mean that you are an adult, for a start, they can't drink in pubs or, possibly vote.

At some time in the next couple of months I will be taking my 18 year old son with me to Australia. I am married to his mother and live with her and our 3 children. He has dual citizenship and passports for both countries. He will be 19 mid January and we may take the trip after he turns 19. We will be returning and will, most likely, have return tickets. My question is, will I need a letter from his mother giving permission for him to leave the country with me or similar?

Listen here you ah, ah, Wombat, I can't get them here in lower Issan. Good idea though, save bending my arm twice a day. Imagine the carnage I could do to myself if I had access to 150 mg single doses

I am also addicted to Tramadol @Badrabbit. I have been battling with it on and off for about 8 years or so. I am presently taking 4 by 50 mg capsules a day all in about 30 minutes in the mid afternoon when my body seems to start aching and my legs and feet get restless and ache. I returned to live in Australia for two and a half years in November 2019 and was forced to give it up there as no Doctor would prescribe it. I remember I was so busy organising my family's move to Oz and actualling travelling then setting up a new home in Oz that I forgot about my daily tramadol dose so gave it up rather easily. Back then I was taking up to 7 capsules [350 mg]. However when I returned to Thailand I gradually started using it again for my various aches and pains. I have a bad back and now have rods and pins in it, I also have an osteoarthritic knee. I am in the process of weaning myself of them as I am anticipating a trip to Oz coming up. When I first injured my back in Oz around 15 years ago the Doctors were throwing pain killers at me like candy. I would get a script for 6 boxes of 20 Panadeine Forte with 5 repeats so it's any wonder I ended up addicted to opiates. Now they won't even advise you to take a panadol. Hopefully I can ween myself off them and not relapse as they are easy to get here. I am otherwise healthy, I eat well, have a balanced diet and exercise every day. I drink about 4 small beers an evening before I eat.

I flew to Buriram from Don Muang with them about 8 months ago but just checked their website and they do not have that service anymore for some reason.

I've had a cold of varying degrees for nearly 5 weeks now and it has sort of gone to my nose now. I also had a very bad cough for about 3 weeks of the cold but it is slowly disappearing. I'm in the rural lower east of Issan.

I wasn't a traffic cop. I was higher up the chain so, no idea about the travesties you refer to. You sound like a typical cop hater though, met plenty of those.

I entered the intersection, most likely when the light was orange but it was not safe to stop suddenly as the car behind me in the photo was too close and he may have collided with me. Entering an intersection on an orange light is not illegal. The traffic in front of me was moving but stopped suddenly when a car decided to try to turn right or do a uturn up ahead and there was not enough room for traffic to get past it. So, nothing illegal there as I entered the intersection with traffic moving in front of me. As far as @motdaeng and his comment, I do know better and post something intelligent instead of attacking the man next time.

I am a retired Cop, 25 years in the job and there is no proof that I entered the intersection under a red light. The evidence cannot support the charge. The evidence photos need to show my car at the white line when the lights are red. That is the law. So what if you've been driving here for that long, that's irrelevant.

How the hell can you conclude that I ran it from that photo? You are guessing or agitating. I await your reply with your points of proof.
