Thai kids with expired Thai passports, cannot leave Thailand. How to renew their Thai passports?

[thainewvisa]

How can I renew my kids' expired Thai passports? My kids (age 8 and 10) are not registered in Thai housing registration or "tabien bann". They said that their names would have to be registered in tabiean bann before their passports can be renewed /issued. My children also got a non-expired US passports (but these weren't used to stamp in, when coming into Thailand).

Can I leave with my children at some land border using US passports? What to do? We really need to leave soon. We were told at the airport today that we can't leave because of the expired Thai passports (although we presented our valid US passports).

Please help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I mean, the kids can't get/renew Thai passports inside the country because they don't have their names on Tabien Bann (the housing registration).

Any pointer or advice would really help us. My son cried at the immigration control today asking if he could never leave Thailand??

Thanks.
