I`m only finding out now that when registering the babys` birth at the amphur the father must be named, unlike UK where it can be left blank.

My girlfriend gave birth in January to our son and as I couldn`t be there her Uncle is named as the father. i`ve met him and his family several times and am amazed he can be named as the father, just for the purpose of paperworks. He lives in Chonburi, my girlfriend in Korat.

Is it true I only needed to send a copy of my passport to her to register me as the father ?

She told me the names can be changed later, when I return on my next trip. Is this correct ?

Correct, any male can be named as the father on the BC. Your girlfirend should have named you on the BC, that she didn't will make things much more complicated.

You didn't recognized the child as yours (legalise it) and now you are in trouble getting this rectified. On the Thai side you ight be able to get it recitified if you marry the mother or when the child turns about 7 years old and can testify that you are his father. I would recommend consulting a lwayer, as you are not named on the BC. That might complicate things. I suggest contacting forum sponsor isaan lawyers, you find them at the top of this page.

Also for registering the child as yours with your own country you might be in trouble, as you are not named on the BC. Contact your embassy about what to do.

I just want to add something, I was in the same situation as you are right now, so in order for you to register your name on the birth certificate as a father, first you need to do paternity test (DNA test) to prove that you are a father, that will be done in particular Hospital in Bangkok that approved by ministry of health. After getting the result, then you have to go to the place that the birth certificate was issued and explain to them, show them your test result and they will rectify the matter. This is my experience when I was in your situation. [/b][/b]

What a muppet!! Smuggling drugs through Dubai & Thailand, 2 countries with probably the strictest drug laws in the world.

Oh well, another candidate for an episode of banged up abroad.

No. Not when compared with Laos, Malaysia and Singapore. Not even close.

right...no drug law is stricter than the singapore law

I believe Saudi Arabia is stricter them all, if you get caught with drugs then your head will be taken out of body immediately

Thanks for the valuable information, currently I'm in Saudi Arabia and I will be heading to Thailand in the middle of October and, I will follow-up this matter. Again thank you for your input.

Hello everyone, I need some advise, I am officially married to a Thai woman, and I have a 5 years old boy with another Thai woman (I never missed the child support payment), unfortunately, I did not put my name in the child birth certificate because at the time of his birth I was outside Thailand and his mother decided to put her family name in the child birth certificate. I do have a paternity test certificate to prove that the child is mine.

The question is how I can put my name in my child birth certificate? I will appreciate if I would get any input.

I vaguely remember having seen Sigma flash sold at a shop in MBK and in Pattaya... You might as well contact the Sigma distributor Jebsen & Jessen in the link above (if that hasn't changed in the last few years).

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

Hello Everyone, I’m searching for Sigma Flash, model: Electronic Flash EF 500 DG Super that mounted on Digital Canon Camera model 20D.

Please can anyone tell me where I can puchase the said Flash in Thailand?

I think the time has come for Mr. Thaksin to get out of politics, what else does he wants, more billion?
