Hi guys. Just wanna find out if there's any *luk kreung s'porean here?

*Half Thai

Lol... why? My dad's Singaporean and my mum is Thai...

Do you follow your mum or dad's race? Or do you have double-barrelled race?

 

[sigeena]

Do you speak Thai? Can you read and write? Singapore isn't a very conducive environment for you to retain your thai side, is it?

 

[hesperus]

I follow my dad's race which is Chinese... During my time there's no such thing as double barrelled race... Anyway dun think I wanna change anyway..

Yes, I speak Thai with my mum... Which is a big advantage when I go Bangkok cos I have not encountered any tourist scams which I read on the Internet and I enjoy all the Thai prices to the attractions/shopping there..
I can read and write but it's very slow as I seldom read or write here in SG..

no such thing as double barrelled race. Once the child hit 21yr old, he/she will decide one race from the parent. But below 21yr, he/she can hold two nationalities.

yeah u gotta be able to speak thai language as your mom is thai... of cos it is an asset if u can speak thai especially when you travel in thailand

If you were born in SG, did you register for a Thai Birth Certificate?

 

[goh6570]

Maybe i got confused here..

u r talking about the race, not the nationality right?

 

[Nathson]

yes they are allowed to change but they cannot hold two nationalities after 21yr old

I know. SG doesn't allow dual nationality if not I would be holding dual by now.
But my cousin who is half Thai / half S'porean, born in TH hold both Thai blue ID card & pink NRIC. Maybe he needs to surrender one before he turns 21 as he's just 19 this year.

yes he needs to surrender one, when he turns 21. that is what my frens told me. few frens have inter marriages.

I was born in Thailand and hold 2 identity cards... After I served my NS here I had to go Thai embassy to surrender my Thai nationality..

Did you retain your Thai name?

 

[sigeena]

Retaining your thai ethnicity allows you to take minority under hdb

HDB? Rather buy a villa in thailand.

 

[sigeena]

You can always buy your villa after your HDB. But you can't do vice versa.
