There is no need to register him as British, you can just apply for a UK passport for him.  If he's British they will issue one.  If he isn't, or you don't meet the qualification of being British Otherwise Than by Descent yourself, they won't.

I did it for my son. There's an application form and you need your long-form birth certificate, as well as his birth certificate (translated if not in English). His passport photos will need to be counter-signed by a non-family Brit, plus you need proof of your address in Thailand. The form is submitted at The Trendy on Sukhumvit soi 13, but the passport is issued by the UK Passport Office in Liverpool. It took about 3 weeks for my son's passport to be issued.

Application form are printed off the internet there are full instructions on the internet it cannot be done by post you have to get an appointment and go to Trendy and it also needs to be collected from Trendy. The service seems quick at this time I applied last Thursday (passport people in Liverpool got it midday on Tuesday) and I have been told by Liverpool that my son's passport was printed yesterday and should be in Trendy sometime next Monday

Except for those that have a long journey to Bangkok, it's a very efficient service.

All paperwork that is in Thai need to be translated and be certified

I highly recommend Keyvisa they are next to BigC South Pattaya on the same Soi as AA insurance, they did mine last April and were very efficient , I had an e mail from Bangkok telling me my passport was back and next day Keyvisa called me to say they had it. Yes there is a cost 5000 baht plus the the passport cost but at 70 years old I didn't fancy the hassle of going to Bangkok twice . Details are :
