If my wife of thai nationality has a baby born in Australia what rights does the child have back in thailand.

He/She is thai national by birth so has full rights in Thailand. Just need to be registered in Thai system if not done already.

hey hey, just like me :)

Fairly simple, the child will be a Thai national and if one of the parents is also a permanent resident/Australian citizen, the child will be an Australian citizen also.

The Australian side will take care of itself, but from the Thai side, you will have to get a Thai birth certificate issued by the Thai embassy in Canberra. This I beleive can be done by post.

The Thai passport is also issued via the embassy in Canberra, and can be done once the birth cerificate is issued. It is a bit more of a pain however as it requires that the applicant be physcially present to get the electronic photograph and fingerprint taken. However, the embassy regularly sends a team down to each of the state capitals to so that passport applications can be taken. Check with the embassy to see when this happens next.
