can anyone tell me!

The Thai birth certificate, I presume, will be given to you at the hospital. You are under no compulsion to get the child a British birth certificate, and a British passport, should an entitlement exist, can be obtained without one. However, should you wish to get your child a British birth certificate, the birth will have to be registered at the British embassy. The process is described on the embassy website. The advantage of registering the child's birth with the British embassy is that you will be issued with a UK-style birth certificate which can come in handy when dealing with officialdom in the UK.

Scouse.

7913 baht for a birth certificate! What would it cost if the baby was born in the UK?

No cost. Our Son was born in the UK and hence automatically got a British Birth certificate. We then took this to the Thai Embassy in London where they issued a Thai birth certificate free of charge. Obviously the British Embassy in BKK recognises a nice little earner when it see one.

Its about time this closed shop nowhere else to go provided a service not ripping its own citizens off at every opportunity.

Examples - Passports, if you are a frequent traveler why not introduce Business passports instead of having to return and go through the expensive and time consuming rigmorol of having to purchase a second passport, birth certificates 8,000 Baht???? - come on British Embassy give your reputation an uplift!!
