Our child is born. Which documents from the Ampoe?

[cocopops]

@lemonjelly:

"George" or any other name will work, just make sure - as cocopops mentioned already - to get the Thai Spelling right. As far as i know there are no oficially established rules which would assign to each Latin letter a Thai Script counterpart. So it is all about sound. Just speak clearly and make the people who will traduce understand correctly how you want the name to sound.

If the name you choose is common, there may be an entry in the Thai wikipedia for a famous falang of the same name. General Washington for example:

https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%88_%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99

Also - I'm not married to my son's mother, but the birth certificate has my name on it as his father. His surname is mine too, not that of his mother.

Asked you wife or gf as she is Thai

Don't ask random people you don't know

If you want to announce the birth of your son then announce it

Don't play games

OP's wife is of Burmese origin who does not speak or read thai, are all the replies still relevant?

"Your son will be put in same Thabien Bahn as his mother (unless he own a house) , we did this at the Tessabahn not the Amphur."

Your son will be put in the blue book for where he lives, normally the same as the mother. The blue book has nothing to do with ownership.

The Tabien Baan, or House Registration Document, is issued by the municipality. It shows who lives at a property (it is not proof of property ownership). It can be issued to residents of Thailand who:

1. Buy a lease hold which is registered at the land office.
2. Own land through a company or buy a condo.

Here on Samui 75% if the population is in a house book on the mainland.

@saakura: yes, the replies are still relevant and helped us a lot. she has been granted Thai citizenship many years ago, when there have been quotas for people with Mon descent who stayed in the Kingdom long time already. She speaks Thai, but cannot read or write, her father died when she was nine, and her mother would not let her go to school but instead sent her to work. Both her and me not reading/writing Thai sometimes complicates life very much. The more i am thankful to the TV members for their kind efforts in guidance, information and help.
