Turned up at Pattaya City Hall today at 10am, just with my UK passport and my girlfriend's Laos passport, exactly 2 weeks after the birth of my son at Pattaya Memorial, and walked out with the birth certificate within 20 minutes. The car park was almost full and there was little signage in English, but all in all it was painless.

U married mate?

No. My girlfriend is from Laos and marrying is complicated and an expensive, lengthy process.

ic

out of curiosity

Thanks

I got driving licence so im orite.

I saw somewhere some requirements when applynfor visas like bring ur wife house book but i guess thats her book in that cases.

Hi we went with gf to City hall in small town.

She lost her ID.

While there we decided to just ask if it would be possible to add my name to her house book like i live there.

They said we had to be married.

And then I get yellow book.

And then some gov worker would approve or screen me like why Im in thailand or something...

The way he talked was like he is in charge of the process and everything depends on him. If I be nice to him he could sort it out.....

Can someone tell me whats yellow book good for?

Thx

When they get hold of ur son they kick u out. Then if u want see him they tell u to pay

Some constructive advice needed.

Having arrived here from the UK with my Thai wife for a 40-day holiday mainly for the family to see the little lad now he has grown up.

However things started o go odd with the wife first off she walked out the second day due to me complaining about a photo her friends put up of Facebook without asking me, she took a taxi to Morchit Bus Station BKK and said she wasn’t coming back.

We have been married 3 years and been together some 5 years now.

Spent a small fortune on a coffee shop that failed, moved all the stuff we had bought for the coffee shop and our home, to her family house in the village, including my Honda Steed.

Two years later we are back from the UK having spent another fortune getting her a UK visa to find the bike is a state and all the Coffee shop contents used including the Air Conditioners. The rest my wife sold to her extended family at a give away price.

My problem now is my wife wants to have the responsibility of looking after our 3 year old to the family, while she eats papaya Salad and chats, while my son is running native all over the village.

I am not happy and say so she sees this as a slight against her, as normal and refuses to see the problem, further to this there is nothing to eat for us I cant eat beetles bugs and so on and the family don’t eat bought food it all comes from the forest. My son eats egg and rice every day and I have to go to the next village to get food, and this irritates my wife.

Cut a long story short after 3 weeks in the village with nothing to do but try to stop being conned into fixing the Papas car or spending money I told the wife I was board and that we should go away a few das as they had some festival in the village with full speakers from dawn to dusk.

She flew into a rage and said I did never want to be here and I don’t like the family and the rest.

She then said she would kill me and that she had the support of the family to do so.

Threw all my stuff in a bag and told me to leave and take him with you meaning my son. I really had no choice but to drive the bike from Nakhon Phnon to Udon in the heat of the day. I am now at a resort in Udon writing this with my 3 year old son asking where his Mom is.

I am in shock, I am 65, and to have got into this situation with a small son I just don’t know how this could of happened. What goes with this mentality?

The wife called a few moments ago to say she would let me have the rest of my clothes and suitcase if I let her take my son to stay here in Thailand and I go back to the UK alone. That is NOT an option to see the life he would have he is just a mascot for them to show a white boy with fair hair in the village.

I am at a resort in Udon Thani at the moment I have to sell or store my bike and leave for the UK ASAP. anyone know where i could store a Honda Steed?

Being confused and shocked, what are my options try to fix with the wife as she is adamant she wants to live with her family not me, and also having spent a small fortune with the coffee shop and visa for the UK she keeps talking about me building a house near her family. That has also been the cause of some problems.

Take the son asap and leave thailand before is not too late. If they get hold of ur son u might not see him again!

My son was born 2 weeks ago at Pattaya Memorial. C section, 3 nights in private room, 61,000 all in. No complaints.

What was the cosmetic outcome of surgery for the C section? Members of my Thai extended family have very unsightly scarring from C surgery at Banglamung and the Red Cross Hospital in Sri Racha. I understand significant scarring from C section is 'normal' in Thai govt hospitals

It's a bit early to tell, but it looks like they did a neat job.

All kids born in state hospitols. Paid for a private room approx. 800-1,000 per night. Total bill no more than 5k. Reason, first born in Samui, BKK hos just kept prescribing drugs at 2k a time then suggested an insurance policy at 35k....decided on Nathon at a cost of 1,800. Same day wife gave birth two other ladies were brought from BKK hos for the birth then taken back to Chewang. Same staff etc, all you are paying for is the room.....

Is it baby insurance?

Whats Nathon?

My son was born 2 weeks ago at Pattaya Memorial. C section, 3 nights in private room, 61,000 all in. No complaints.

They took set of photos and give us cd from birth.

Penang is your best bet. See http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?/topic/754146-Multiple-Non-O-visa-run-Penang-for-visiting-family-success

Cant be easier then laos

​I wonder just how may of the posters who lambaste the Thai public hospital system actually have first hand experience of that system?

​All of our three boys were born in our local hospital in Samut Prakarn. First class treatment a shared room with one other new baby and mother , room was fitted out with air con T.V. and shower cubicle etc, instant service if the occupants summoned the staff with the bell push.

Doctor and nursing staff first class and also a pleasant view from the room window of the hospital grounds and garden too.

Two nights in hospital all medication as needed and medical fees and food total cost 2,500 baht.

Might do well to remember that a Thai mother to be would have used the same facilities if she was lucky.

We have also used the hospital on a couple of occasions for other treatment broken arm, fractured ankle always first class treatment and care at a fair price.

No complaints from me regarding the public hospital system in Samut Prakarn or in our Umphur (Sangkha) in Surin either.

In Pattaya gov hospitals are not so good. And for sure its not 2500

We enquiried it was 10k+

In banglamung my thai friend paid 20k.

Two years ago the cost at Banglamung was 3.200 for the birth. A private doctor cost another 4k (not necessary) and 1.5k for a private room.

My thai friend gave birth there. And they were coming up with things like baby need oven so they put baby in kind of oven incubator thing thats 10k extra and few other bits. That was 2 months ago.

We looked and went to Sirikit, problem there was waiting times to see doc. once we waited 3h and when was our turn they said they done for the day and come tommorow morning and may b they see us if we lucky. They got limits ppl per day.

The same was with registering took 2h, a lot of military staff come...

So ended up bkk p. H.

This thread is to inform about current price and level of service. We all know u can do it cheaper.

Natural delivery was cheaper btw.

It was bit expensive but no scams and well looked after. Nurses come at night feed help feed baby and that...

Certainly BeefSlapper one has to conduct your own survey concerning the hospital in question much as one now has to do in the U.K.

Both the hospitals I mentioned have good admin teams and dedicated staff.

In truth if the front line staff are motivated the rest of the team will follow the example.

Thats but far
