[Obtain a Thai ID card]

Thank you for all your replies.

It seems like the best option for me is to obtain my Thai passport in Sweden and get a Thai driver's license here. And once I entered the country with my Thai passport I will personally invite my mother here for a vacation and tell her to take a short trip to her local Amphur office.

Thanks for the answers!

My mother is alive but she lives in Sweden. Some people claims that she has to be present, some people claims that she doesn't have to be present, I guess it is different for every Amphur?

By the way, the Thai Embassy in Sweden recommended me to do my Thai passport at them to avoid some hassle. I just have to book an appointment and go there alone with my Thai birth certificate and I will have a Thai passport within one month. The complications seems to start when I want my ID as I don't have a ID number. Would it be easier if I had a Thai passport to show the Amphur?

So perhaps I should call my Amphur and ask who has to be present when I'm doing my ID? Is it possible to do it in another way? I guess that I can't do it in Chaeng Wattana?

Hello,

I'm half Thai/half Swedish and I just finished processing my Thai Birth Certificate at the Thai Embassy in Sweden. Now when I have my Thai birth certificate I wonder what I should do to obtain my Thai ID card?

I guess the process have to be in this order:

1. Go to my local Amphur and get myself in the house book (can I do this by myself?)

2. Apply for a Thai ID card at the same Amphur when I'm in the house book.

3. Apply for a Thai passport here in Bangkok.

4. Leave the country with my Swedish passport and enter Thailand with my Thai passport.

5. NO MORE <removed> CHAENG WATTANA!!!!!!!

Which university is it?

[Difference between M.Sc. and M.Eng. in Thailand?]

I will soon graduate with a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and planning to do my Master's degree in a not so distant future. As my attention have fallen on the M.Eng in Petroleum Engineering at Chulalongkorn I have started to question the difference between a M.Sc and a M.Eng degree.

A quick search on Google on the subject suggests different things as it seems to depend what country the university is located in. Some people say it is just like a M.Sc but less focus on scientific research and no thesis. Others claim that it is a natural progression of a B.Eng but the studies are still considered as undergraduate.

This confuses me a lot as the M.Eng in Petroleum Engineering offered at Chulalongkorn claims to be graduate studies and contains a thesis project.

Does someone of you guys here on the board know what the deal is in Thailand?

I've a friend who studies at BUIC and he says it's bullshit. Rich people that just want to get a degree, and if they fail at the exam they just pay some money.

I don't know anyone who studies at Webster but if you google it seems to be one of the more serious university in Thailand.
