That may be true but what kind of Luk Krueng is she or he? Is the father or mother a foreigner? That seems to make a difference to some.

What does it matter? She could be married to a Thai with both names being Thai. Or may be she has kept her farang name and got her position on merit?

I don't doubt that she has the job. All I am saying is Thai law looks at children of western men differently than that of western women married to Thai men.

Section 17. With respect to a person who has Thai nationality, by reason of his having been born within the Thai Kingdom of an alien father, his Thai nationality may be revoked if it appears that:

• He has resided in a foreign country, of which his father has or used to have nationality, for a consecutive period of more than five years as from the day of his becoming sui juris;
• There is evidence to show that he makes use of the nationality of his father or of a foreign nationality, or that he has an active interest in the nationality of his father or in a foreign nationality;
• He commits any act prejudicial to the security or conflicting with the interests of the State, or amounting to an insult to the nation;
• He commits any act contrary to public order or good morals.

The above is evidence that Thais have a slanted view towards Luk Kruengs and especially those of western/foreign fathers. Thailand is backwards, often stupid and sometimes just plain racist. Of course people are nice and most aren't racist but the ones who own this land and control its government and legal system are.



Go head look for more. I'm sure that you'll find it.

Of course it does. A Luk Krueng child with a Farang father is automatically seen as being the child of a bargirl. A farang woman married to a Thai doesn't have to show money in a Thai bank to obtain a one year extention on her visa. That's how selective they are.
