Why would he want to stay? He's the most hated man in Thailand. There isn't a place in public be can go and not be recognized. Leave grow beard dye your hair and come back in 6-8 months when it blows over, act like you have some manners. Remember you are a visitor not citizen and that you are a representative of your country and your people.

Well I hope it isn't true. He may have a legitimate explanation for the assets (property) he owns. If not I will never understand why folks who are dirty show money they can't explain. It's been the undoing of several high profile people in the past. I remember WATCH GATE a few years ago. Wearing a flashy watch was all it took, it became a loose thread on sweater just pull.

As December for US citizen you can submit an application online CRBA consular report for birth abroad. You will answer some questions and upload documents as proof for those answers. Once you have correctly completed the application there is $100 USD fee. You must be in Thailand physically to schedule an appointment at the embassy. Bring all documents you uploaded with the application along with your child and the Thai parent. During this interview if you need to make any changes to your child's name let the consular know during the interview. They have you write a statement explaining the reason for the change both parents sign and the name will be changed. You will also have the opportunity to apply for your child's passport.  You can have the picture done on site. The fee for the passport as of December 2023 is $135 USD.

Pill testosterone is useless, so go with injections only. In Thailand you have the following brands/esters available:

• Bayer Testoviron Depot - Testosterone Enanthate
• Bayer Nebido - Testosterone Undecanoate 
• TP Pharma Cypionax - Testosterone Cypionate 

I personally go with the local brand Cypionax, because it's very affordable. Testoviron and Nebido you can get from Southeast Pharmacy on Sukhhumvit, between Asoke and Nana. Cypionax can be bought at Jr Pharmacy next to PTT Soi 4 Sukhuvmit. 

As of 21 December 2023 I can confirm JR pharmacy next to PTT SOI 4 Sukhumvitt 10 vials per box!!!

I did I'm at least listed in the birth certificate as the father now but the family name the local ampor won't change I'm sure if I were in a large city BKK say this would be a smooth and simple transaction but that village man they old fashioned like that I'm going to see if the translation new birth certificate can get me started with the embassy

I would not recommend the pretend marriage route, it will come back and haunt you later.

 

Why is the name change important at this point?

 

Let the kid grow up a bit and let it be their choice regarding taking your name, bit unfair forcing name change on a kid at this point without good reason the benefits the kid.

Benefits I cant afford they baby any of the benefits from my employment, cover with insurance, or entitlement of my retirement benefits God forbid that my life is cut short she would be able to claim these benefits.

Benefits having my family name will entitle my daughter with my benefits even in death she would be able to collect social security benefits as an American  citizen until age 22 I can cover her with life insurance medical and dental insurance now with it.

The following is my layman understanding. Generally for many countries if your name is on the birth certificate and you agree the mother can apply for a child passport in your country. My son has UK passport, note the mother had to apply and not me. I do not believe the child can take your name on birth certificate but Thais change there names all the time just for luck.

 

Recommend you also register birth with your embassy before going for passport.

 

If not married you are not the initially the legal parent in Thailand, this impacts parental responsibilities and things like legal child benefit which you will likely not be liable to unless the parenthood is legitimized. International law and your own countries laws on this may differ.

This also impacts travelling outside the country with your kid if the mother does not join you, this needs the mothers permission, some say a signed letter will suffice. Get married and you become guardian, not sure if divorce takes that away????

 

You can register for legal parent status but I have seen mixed views on this, in some case I heard the child needs to be old enough to confirm in court but others seem to have done this earlier. 

 

You can also likely have consensual agreement on payments that can be registered at district office that can become enforceable later, that might be what she is looking for.

 

 

I appreciate all this I really do the best thing I can do for now is just wait until I get back there and see what I can sort out it gets worse by the day some how the village chief has gotten involved and is insisting on approval of any name change be conditional on marriage.  She has offered to get married just to appease them long enough to get the name change then divorce as she doesn't want to force e to marry her.

I'm in a bad spot now my as the father is on the birth certificate but my child has her mother's family name the hospital and local AMPOR will not permit her to give my family name to the child becasue we are not married and for some reason they are saying even if we do marry its too late the marriage would have to be recorded prior to the birth I now things can be handled differently depending on where you live she is in Chanthaburi I have never seen it like this in BKK PHUKET CHONBURI etc.  I not sure hiring a lawyer will change anything.

Im confused by all of this as I do know of Thai women who have children with a forefinger and simply stated the father's name on the birth certificate at the hospital with the family name of the father then registered the birth at the AMPOR without being married the children are dual citizens and have passports for both countries.

You still miss out on the fact you would nog be a legal father in Thailand itself, nor have rights, in this case. Makes the US passport quite useless unless she allowed you to take him.

 

My son has a Dutch passport too yet I have no parents rights at all, yet.

The child, with no doubt shall qualify for US citizenship. You will need to register "The Birth Abroad" with the US consulate. I registered my son in Bangkok at around 13 months old. You will be asked a few questions regarding your relationship, whether or not you are certain the child is yours, etc. You will receive a certificate. I applied for my son's passport and social security number at same meeting. 

 

In hindsight, I would not apply for the social security number in Thailand. Apply in the US and have the card sent to your US address.

 

The aforementioned is the easy part. You must register yourself as the legal parent, if not legally married, of the child with the Thai government. Signature on the birth certificate does not satisfy the Thai government in regards to you being a legal parent. Do this rather immediately. Don't procrastinate.

 

"In Thailand, being the biological father of a child does not confer any parental rights even if the father is named on the birth certificate. The father can only be deemed the legitimate parent of the child in three ways. The first way is if the father and the mother are legally married at the time of the child’s birth or became legally married, the husband is deemed the legitimate parent. The second and third way for a father to legitimize their parental rights is through registration with the local Amphur with the mother’s consent or through a court judgment." (Siam Legal)

Hello and happy New Year

I need some information if anyone can help me. I have a child due with a Thai national in February.  (I can assure all I did father the child we have been together 4 years and on my last visit we spent 4 months together in a condo with nothing to do but eat and watch Netflix!!! she is deathly afraid of covid and would only leave to shop for food and come back maddening!)

 The plan was for me to return for the birth of our child but the latest WAVE the pausing of test and go has changed that. The sandbox in her condition is not an option she views them as mass spreader locations and 16 days and 15 nights quarantine is something I can’t stomach again. 

That said we are planning as if I will not make it until the government changes its mind AGAIN.  She has asked me how can we establish IE me legally accept responsibility for the child since I will not be there to sign the birth certificate when she delivers.

I do understand that as the child's father the baby maybe entitled to dual citizenship (I am American) but I have no idea how that works and if it is applicable how to do it. Anyone that may have gone through this or something similar and can share information/advice we would greatly appreciate it.

She is good with our relationship we are not married but her mother is all about Saving Face is insisting something on paper to protect the baby. I can respect and appreciate her position if it were my daughter and she had a child out of wedlock I would advise her the same way. 

 I just feel some kind of way because I am no dead beat and would never abandon a child of mine.  I have been supportive of the process paying medical bills and purchasing everything the baby will need as well as providing a monthly stipend.  The transfer app I use allows me to document the reasons for sending money. 

Again to all Happy New Year and please be safe if you are in country and thanks for any response to this request.

Don't get mislead by the cheap charlies here in TVF. Health care is free for all Thais at government hospitals. 

 

Your girlfriend, might probably prefer to get treated at a private hospital because everything is faster, and thus why she has to pay. If I was her I would also prefer to be treated at private hospitals.

 I don't know a very specific answer to this situation. But I assume (repeat assume) she has some sort of membership document or a member number and should therefore be able to use her number to access the treatment she needs.

 

I just asked my Thai son about this, his comments:

 

- Everybody has a number but in any case all Thai people have entitlement to the gold card scheme. Their personal Thai ID card number should be helpful.

- Yes she should register at a local hospital, but:

• In son's experience the registration is completed within a couple of minutes and the citizen should walk away with a document.
• Several months ago the regulations re the 30Baht scheme were changed meaning that citizens can get immediate medical care at any Thai gov't hospital. I asked my son 'does the person have to go to their local hospital first then perhaps to another hospital? His comment:
  • It can be the case if the local hospital doesn't have the knowledge / equipment etc., they can refer the person to a larger hospital, but that's not necessarily a compulsory action because (as above) all citizens are now entitled to seek advice/treatment at any gov't hospital with no requirement to show any proof they have already visited a 'smaller' hospital.
  • Son also made the point, if a citizen is on holiday/working away from local home hospital and needs help/treatment/surgery/resetting of bones etc., etc., it could be very inconvenient/impractical/possibly damaging to the persons condition to have to go home to the local hospital first. This is a primary reason why the regulations were changed so that citizens can seek help/advice/treatment at any hospital.
  • Son also says that he recalls reading that a further reason the regulations were changed was to respect the rights of all to seek another opinion etc.  

this has been a big help and I have decided not to but the insurance she has asked a relative who says if she has a stay in the hospital for a few days it’s cheaper to just pay for the private room for that one instance than paying insurance premiums per month or annuity for treatment she can get for free

Start by doing some research on how insurance works and how they make money. Getting insurance for the case which you described is not worth it, it will only cost her more.

I appreciate the advice and I will not buy it

Medical care is free for all Thai citizens.

Thais asking foreigners for money for health care are usually scamming you.

Thalassemia is completely covered by the government free health care.

I’m not aware of that but I appreciate your response and will google that topic and do some research 

Has anyone had any experience on getting insurance for a Thai citizen (girlfriend)? She suffers from a low hemoglobin count and requires hospitalization short stays for iron infusion treatment and occasionally a blood transfusion. I’m thinking she needs some type of health insurance coverage instead going in for treatment and paying the bills. Maybe there would be some preventative treatment available, anyway if anyone knows how or where I would appreciate it. We tried he bank great policy very affordable but she wouldn’t be covered (able to use it) for almost a year because of her Pre-existing condition and she would have to avoid any hospitalization during that waiting period.

Now do the right thing with no delusional targets, wait until Phuket is really ready, that will probably be a few months yet.

Just like the folks that booked flights into BKK having already been vaccinated and expecting a 7 day quarantine ASH hotel paid in advance then yank the rug out before they arrive and push it back to 14 days. and the massage and tattoo can open up that one lasted a few hours dont see that record getting broken anytime soon

Which is what I had been thinking for some time - increase the frequency of the injection yet maintain at the same dose.

 

I can do that without being given permission from anyone, because I can buy the shots OTC for 540 baht for 3 amps, and get the shots at a local clinic for 80 baht a pop.

 

It had been my idea to start 2-weekly shots from last week when I resumed them after testing,  so do you think that's fair enough, at least in the short term?    Then monitor more regularly, especially PSA?

 

 

can you please help me with tis i have my labs been working with a "specialist" at the cost of $55,000 per month for injections and vitamins what clinic can i go to for OTC I'm usually back and forth in Jomtien and bkk currently in Jomtien i would greatly appreciate you helping me save $$$
