Hello, exiting Thailand with a Thai kid and her thai passport, without the kid is being legitimizated / and other authorization of the mother.
Is it risky to be deny that the kid is leaving Thailand ? ( but my surname and the surname of the kid is the same )
I ever used it at Suvarnabhumi / Don Mueang Airport before, without problem, but as in rules, its possible that they deny me to let the kid go abroad, I would like to know if theres less risk checkpoint Immigration ?
Like border land..
Because I am afraid to buy a expensive Ticket then being denied at the airport..

Before people start offering advice I think the legal relationship between the child and adult needs establishing. Put simply are you by law allowed to take the child out of the country and can you prove your relationship. That is the bottom line that immigration will look at.
So in all likelihood immigration will stop you and want to see supporting documentation for this – birth certificate to prove parentage, and some evidence that you are allowed to take the child and the mother is aware of this / evidence of custody or guardianship. Immigration are pretty tight on this as foreign fathers in a divorce / custody battle do frequently try to take the child from the country.
A minor, who in this case will be travelling on a Thai passport with a foreigner, will be flagged for further investigation as you go through immigration.
And to be very blunt – Your opinion that the mother doesn’t care about the kid will carry zero weight with immigration. Because being very honest they have heard all the stories, excuses and reasons a thousand times before, Their concern is the welfare of the minor / Thai citizen.
