Only thing you can do is walk away and forget it.

However, I take it your son holds a South African passport, and is obviously a SA citizen, and thats how he got out of your country and into Thailand..what does your embassy say on the matter..surely it will stand up for one of its kidnapped citizens..the boy may have a Thai mother, but he is South African born and breed...ask your embassy now before she gets his thai passport..that is why she is getting a Thai passport, so as to alter his nationality and therefore stave off any foreign claim to him...

best listen to others who have been thru the same situation...

That is your answer, you can;t force her. As I read it your not legally married, Saw nothing about filing with the Ampher Ect.

If I was posting in December 2013 I would have suggested trying to make some compromise with the wife - the child is schooled in South Africa and has his school holidays in Thailand and the Mrs. lives half the year or so in South Africa. If not that, then the other way around with the poster in Thailand as often as he can be. Yes, a lot of trust is needed for that solution.

I'd add that being schooled and raised in Isan isn't bad. If the child does well in school in Isan, there are still lots of opportunities in Thailand. Skilled Thais can have a high standard of living in Bangkok these days.

Stickman had a column some months ago about how girls' income in Bangkok is now so high that many farang just don't earn enough in Thailand to be financially attractive to Thai girls.

The advice given previously was probably the best, the latest concerning schooling, is not the best scenario for your child, this ( education ) is so important that you would regret even allowing your child to pursue education here, BUT if you have no option funding for private tutors will ensure the shortcomings of the current education system is negated to some extent.

From memory KP Stickman actually said farang teachers just don't earn enough baht in Bangkok to be financially attractive to more and more Thai girls now. Thailand is changing. Salaries are increasing. The stats say Thailand has been growing economically.

About a decade ago my oldest step-daughter dropped out of M 5 because of boyfriends. The next year she went to a technical college in Udon. She did well there and after graduating she went to an Isan university. After graduating from there she went to work in Bangkok. As young people do she changes jobs every few years looking for a better job and more money. She's on the way. If the education can be afforded there are heaps of opportunities in Thailand. Meanwhile in farangland there are heaps of waiters and waitresses with university degrees.

I don't buy the argument that education in Thailand is a bad idea. Immigrants in farangland face a lot of difficulties getting their qualifications recognized or just getting decent employment. The first generation do it really tough.

With farang help (or anyone paying for the education), a Thai kid has lots of doors open to use his or her talents in Thailand. I think the OP's child with help from the OP can do well in Thailand.
