I just read this paragraphy in the TheravadaBlog:

Moreover, what the Thai Sangha Laws actually say seems to be shrouded in 
myth. It is often stated that such laws prohibit bhikkhuni ordination, 
but the information I possess is that no such law actually exists. Nor 
does one agree to uphold Thai law by accepting the Chao Khun status, and 
no such thing is written on the Chao Khun certificate.
