    I have friends who decided upon having their child in a hospital in Australia... after birth a minor congenital defect was found, they were extremely relieved with their decision to have their child in a hospital in Australia where communication was much much easier for them. 

     

    That said, my Wife gave birth in Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok - the Cost was 330,000 baht (insurance paid), you can also buy packages which at the high end hospitals costs about 120,000 baht for 3 nights, however, any issues and you could soon find yourself with a huge bill. 

     

    Thus: the deciding factor really should be, does your insurance cover all maternity related issues ?

     

    If cost isn't an issue, consider communication although at the top hospitals most Dr's speak pretty good to excellent English. 

     

    Another point to consider is your support network... who and where are they....

     

     

    Regarding nationality. If you were born in Australia and are Australian, so is he... automatically.

    Although if your child is born in Thailand you will need to apply for an Australian passport for the child before he/she travels internationally from Thailand (to Australia)

     

    Best of luck... 

     

     

     

     

    Not true. You don't have to be born in Australia to be Australian. Nor is the child automatically Australian if born overseas. The child does not necessarily need an Aussie passport to travel to Australia. Our son was born in Thailand and flew with us to Australia on a visitor visa and Thai passport when he was 6 months old. When in Sydney it was a simple process to apply for citizenship by descent and then his Aussie passport.

    Correction there mate, you can take more than $10,000 out of Australia at anytime, you just have to declare it on your departure card, they may ask you how much and were did it come from, if they want proof, you should have it on you.

     

    The only reason they do this I am told is to stop money laundering ?

     

    As long as you can back it up, e.g. here are all of my pay slips, the deposits and withdrawal from my bank account, and the reason, e.g. I am building a place in Thailand to retire, you should be fine.

     

    You just have to declare that you have the cash, not how you came to be in possession of it.
