If you were born in Thailand, it is safe to say that you are considered Thai.

And I don't think there is any other way, but...
actually, I read a case where a girl who was born in China was sold as a slave at a very young age. She ended up in Siam, and she successfully pretended to be Thai. She absorbed the culture, and pretty much everybody thought that she was Thai. But that seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
Especially if you are a Farang, then no matter how long you live there, no matter how well you speak the language, you are a Farang, period.
I could be wrong, of course, because all this I just read from books and journals. Only Thai people can give you a definite answer.
