Should I be worried about my daughter being labeled a 'former Thai citizen' if she holds a British passport and has a Thai birth certificate?
My daughter was born in Thailand to a Thai mother and has a Thai birth certificate and Thai ID card but she travels in and out on a British passport with a 'non re' visa (whatever that is) and has to do 90 day reports. We do this because it was a hassle having to find her mother to give me permission to take her out of the country on a Thai passport. Anyway, a Thai person at my place of residence just pointed out that what immigration wrote in her passport (attached) translates as 'former Thai citizen'. Daughter is 10. Should I be worried? We have plans to remain here. As I understand she has to decide her nationality at the age of 18.

as I said we're NOT gonna get in to the "dual nationality" discussion on the group.
We are done, good luck to the O/P and their daughter (y)

Your daughter gets a yearly extension at an immigration office for 1900baht based on that เติมคนไทย clause.
That extension is specifically for thaiz who enter the country using a passport from a different country, and is the easiest yearly extension to get and it's not going to affect her in the least. That's just HOW she's getting extensions, she's here as a foreigner BUT she's thai..
Unfortunately that "she has to decide her nationality" conversation isn't part of the visa advice group. You can post on the Thai Citizenship group and ask about that.
Your daughter is FINE on the extension she's on, and there's no issue at all
