Sounds like a nerves/confidence issue, needs tuition and proper guidance.
How old is the child ?
Stay out of it and take the kid to a speech pathologist. The more you try and "help" the more attention it will get.

Unlike the US if you do get food poisoning it is extremely easy to take care of. You just go to the pharmacy, they will take your temperature probably, they prescribe you a few pills and that's it: no doctor appointment, no waiting in an office, just quick and efficient treatment. I have gotten food poisoning once and this was my experience. I think the total cost was about $7 .

It has been over 23 years since I have drank alcohol. I had moderate withdrawal, I call it "shook dry" . I was able to withdraw at home. Severe withdrawal can kill you. They will use drugs to control the severity of symptoms in a hospital. The best information I can give is to start going to AA. He will find many who have gone through the same thing. More importantly, they will teach him not to drink if that's what he wants. Best of luck to him.

Perhaps a bit of study will help. Attachment Theory was put forth by John Bowlby. An easy primer is the book "Attached" about adult relationships. Bowlby's book "Separation" is another good one. The thing to realize is that the child equates separation with dying. A loving talk given with understanding about how the child actually feels (you will need to study and have some emphathy) will serve much better than a completely ineffectual swat on the bottom.

You can always self report using a TM 28. If they ask you why you are doing it you can tell your story.

Thai Son won't let Mom hug him after 5 years not seeing her. Is this normal for a Thai adult?

So let me see if I have this correct. Your wife, his mother, left the country and essentially abandoning him to go with you for a better life. You and she return after 5 years expecting the son to act as if she had been involved in his life for those 5 years. You both expect him to just get over it and not act like "a coward"! You and she take exception to the way he is processing his valid emotions. Perhaps you should try and look at it from his perspective and not be so selfish.
