  1. I gave birth to my son here in Thailand last year. I am Canadian my husband is from NZ. The baby can NOT have Thai citizenship. He would only be entitled to it if one or both of us were permanent residents - which we're not. Instead he has NZ and Canadian citizenship.... Being born here no longer automatically entitles you to a passport otherwise then all the refugees born in Thailand would also be entitled is how it was generally explained to me...

    Sounds like your friend will still be eligible as I assume she was born prior to 1992 and if one or both parents are named on her original birth cert.

    The worst of the racist comments have been deleted from this thread.

    Really? This must have made pretty shameful reading before then! Never knew there was so much inherent racism among ThaiVisa members...

    This thread is quickly turning into the kind of trash that often happens when something of this nature is emailed out to the entire email database. It's unfortunate really because it stops people who want to discuss the topic sensibly from having their say.

    On another point, I agree with the people who have pointed out how bizarre it is that these suspects were taken back to their hotel rooms!

    Agreed with all the above

  3. My friend (blue eyed blonde man) had a baby with his Korean wife - their little boy has lovely hazel'ish eyes. The blue is unlikely to come through as the brown is the dominant and stronger color. I have a blue eyes, my husband has green- it is more likely that our five month old baby will have green eyes - again the blue is recessive.... Currently he has blue but I expect that to change...

  4. I have only just found this thread - and my god do I hear you. I go out with my four month old baby, people want to touch, pet, stroke, take him away from me all of the time.

    People have woken him up while he was asleep in his fathers arms by pinching his legs (out of dads line of sight), have taken him from me and walked off with him, kissed him, fed him food, all sorts. Most of it is harmless and my bubba just maintains a bored look. It's not until the night that he has nightmares and his stress comes out.

    Now I realise how it is affecting him I limit the amount of exposure he has, limit the amount of touching he receives and make sure if he is being touched by people he doesn't know then I (or his dad) am always with him. Now I put him in the pram, he has a sun shade over him to protect him from both the sun and the constant attention.

    He's young and I feel that a certain level of exposure to other people is good - having read about the baby kidnappings I will keep it in mind. But having experienced the mob mentality that can happen I know why this thread was started - it is quite hard to handle at first. My friends have not understood until they come out with me. One friend is positively rude to all the questions and attention he receives. Its not jealousy on her part, it's simply that she does not live in Thailand and it is overwhelming.

    A smile goes a long way. "No" goes even further.

    Basically my baby comes first and i have developed (very fast) the skills to protect him.
