TLDR : Answer Summary
The son, born in Thailand and having lived in the UK for 18 years, wishes to join the British Army but faces complications regarding his Thai military obligations. He may be required to provide a letter confirming his lack of commitment to the Thai Army. However, commentators emphasize that if he holds Thai citizenship, he must comply with Thai military laws, which require him to register for the draft and potentially serve. The discussions highlight the challenges of dual nationality, varying interpretations of military obligations, and the need for legal advice or communication with embassies.
