If I remember right from school, they should be U.S. citizens, but I'm not 100% sure.

If your son has kids with his Thai partner, then his kids will be eligible for US citizenship, however there are specific channels which your son will need to go through in order to make this happen. Have him check out http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis for all the info he'll need.

Yes, the children will be American citizens...no question at all about that. The only thing your son will need to do is register their birth at the nearest American embassy or consulate soon after birth...within 30 days is suggested. He will also register the child for a S.S. number at the same time and can apply for an American passport for the child. This establishes and documents the child's American citizenship.

Your son will would have to show the U. S. Embassy in Thailand that he was resident in the US for at least 5 years, including 2 since the age of 14. They may also require DNA testing. The Embassy will issue a Consular Report of Birth Abroad which is used as his prove of American citizenship.

They have to go register the birth at the US embassy. They can also apply for a Social Security card and passport.
