As stated, when you are 30 you will be too old to be drafted. Try and do it the correct way and get an exemption from your Embassy.
If you visit Thailand before the age of 30 then use your US passport.
If you don't get an exemption then once you are 30 all you have to do is go to the military recruitment office, pay a small fine and you will be deleted from the list of draftees as you will be too old.
The important thing is that if you are in Thailand before you are 30 then don't brag or boast about not having to do to draft. Just be quiet and don't talk about it.
There is no need to renounce your citizenship. If you have any questions in future years, do come back and ask. It will be interesting to get an update on your story.
So when I move and do visit the country as long as I use US for in and out I will be fine? Even if they can see in the airport that I do have a Thai passport? If so, then that would be the way I would like to do it. Come in with US then going back with US. When I am finally 30, I will be free. If that’s the case.

You have something very valuable, don't renounce it.
Just think about the business opportunities for a second, a trusted american guy who can run companies and own land in thailand - priceless.
If you ever want to get away from the US worldwide tax system it's also extremely handy...
As long as you stay out of thailand no one cares about military and after a certain age you aren't forced to do it anymore anyway?
True but would there be a problem if I just come visit even if I use US to come in?

It is possible, when you are 20.
I have no idea why you would want to do this though. As already stated, you can be a dual national and keep both citizenships.
It is the military and Rodor. Like stated I really am going to study abroad, live, and work. I did not see a point in doing it. So my issue is that I just don’t want any problem if I do visit Thailand. That really is my only concern or reason.

Why do you want to renounce your Thai nationality?
I assume your birth has registered at the Thai embassy? Are you registered in a house book that was done at a Amphoe here?
You need parental consent until you are 20 years old to do it?
It possible possible to start the process at the Thai embassy in Washington DC or at a Amphoe here?
I am in a house. I just want our because of the rodor and military. I did not do it because I did not see a point to when I want to go live my life abroad.

My only concerns is the military thing because I chose not to do rodor. Since I didn’t see the point when I am planning to study abroad, live, and work.

I say NEVER renounce a citizenship. Consider it as a privilege with all the advantages. You can live freely in the US and in Thailand. One thing to remember though: when you are in one of those countries of which you have citizenship you are under the laws of that country, not the other, in which case do not expect much support, and empathy, from the consular authorities if in need of help.
Keep those citizenships, even if you think you don’t need either of them.
I know ‘cause I got three ☺️
Like with other posts I been replying to, it is mostly the military thing that is my concerns. I just do not want any issues.

please tell us why. having additional passport and citizenship is something people pay $250,000 for.
are you worried about the military thing?
That is exactly why. I did not see a point so I did not do it. Just don’t want any issue when I do come visit.

You don't have to renounce Thai citizenship. I am a naturalised Thai citizen & retained British citizenship. I have an American mate who was granted Thai citizenship on the same day as me & he didn't have to give up US citizenship.
It’s more of my own choice wanting to renounce it since I didn’t do what they called Rodor because I did not see a point of it when I am not planning to study and work here. I don’t want any issue with that if I keep the Thai. Might be easier to just renounce it if that make any senses.
