I am an American and also made it through the process - a LONG process and if you don't speak and read Thai well essentially an almost impossible process...but I do ...and I passed.
The interesting issue is that twice at the BKK airport I have been asked whether I still have a US passport.....as if dual nationality is still an issue in Thailand...which it should not be. Anyway, I always reply 'no' as I use my thai passport for all travel around SE asia - but it might be a problem if I get asked this question when I travel to the US or Europe.
I was never asked to give up the US citizenship in the entire process - and my research on this site and others indicates there is nothing illegal in holding dual Thai and US citizenship.
