For a start you. will need your original birth certificate, it has a registration no, that will identify you on the national database. If one of your parents is Thai you are Thai. If not you may qualify depending on how old you are, as they changed the rules. Good Luck

What seeds can I grow for food in the hot season in central Thailand?

Bob ********

We composite all our fresh food waste in a shallow trench in one bed, 15cm deep, bury and cover, as it goes along, I then transfer all the seeds that sprout, I have had capsicum, chilli, pumpkin, tomatoes, bell peppers, apples, oranges lemons. All sprout, biggest problem is space to grow them to harvest
