“ Thailand has no any law concerning international cooperation on breach of rights of custody, which is aimed at protecting children from the harmful effects of their wrongful removal or retention, establishing certain procedures to ensure their prompt return to their habitual residences, as well as securing protection for rights of access. ”

“ In considering an application for the return of a child, the Court may require the applicant to obtain from a court or other competent organ in the state where the child's habitual residence is, a decision that the removal or retention of the child is in breach of the rights of custody. ”

“ In this Act:
"Child" means a person under the age of sixteen;
"Rights of custody" means the rights concerning the care of the person of the child and includes the right to determine the residence of the child, whether these right are established by operation of law, by virtue of the orders of the courts or state authorities, or by the lawfully applicable agreements;
"Rights of access" includes the right to take a child for a limited period of time to a place other than its habitual residence ”
