    Re: Should My Son Renounce Thai Citizenship?

    What if the thai person has lived oversees, does not speak a word of thai and gets the red card that requires conscription. I wonder what they would do about that?

    No, he can travel on his US passport.

    Don't renounce citizenship. He can make the decision if confronted with a problem in the future. Let him decide. Always better to have 2 passports than one.

    hmm...my wife's nephew just returned from a 6 month stint in Yala.

    This was his FIRST posting as a soldier and he is about 18 now I believe (if that). He has now been posted to Petchaburi.

    It would make commonsence to send only experienced soldiers to the deep south, though this is Thailand were commonsense is a scarce commodity.

    Serving in the Thai military is not a death sentence in the life of a young person, and could possibly do him some good. On the other hand, there is the very real possibility of a US draft and this could be a death sentence. Why doesnt he just enlist or go in as an officer? This would afford more choice than if he were drafted.

    So how and why are they gonna start up the draft again? So you can just choose to go in as an officer?

    They are bogged down right now and if they decide to escalate the mayhem, a draft will be necessary.

    Depending upon one's qualifications, one can choose to do whatever one wants.

    Icon4 Re: Should My Son Renounce Thai Citizenship?

    Now sure if this is the right spot or not.... I couldn't find where to post

    Anyway My friend is a Thai male aged 19 years old

    Will he have to go in the Thai Military ??

    Why does everyone have to go ?

    What's his chance's? Who will look after his bills .... if and when he goes ?

    who will look after his house and moterbikes......... He will loose his job

    He has good job ........

    This all seems a little crazy......... That they make all Thai boys go to the army

    What's up with that..?

    Why....

    Is this TRUE...... it can't be true

    I worry so much about that.... and for him

    Thanks any help or info or links to some good solid info would be great

    I try and find Thai military site but nothing i search all kinds but get nothing

    Anyway Thanks for any help or info

    Respectfully

    Me

    Re: Should My Son Renounce Thai Citizenship?

    It's a random draw when your friend turns 21 years old.

    Don't know what percentage has to do this 'national service'.
    We must not confuse statistical probability with some transcendental and utterly compelling force.
