Best Answer

Assuming he is an Indian citizen, as long as your son stays in the secure area, he won't need a visa to transit in Suvarnabhumi.

Since he's flying with Thai Airways all the way, his luggage will be checked through. All he has to do is pass through security again, and go up to the departure level. And wait, a long time.

There are many restaurants and rest areas in BKK, so he won't really go hungry, and will have a place to sleep.
