FarangFB Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Here is the story: my friend was staying in Pattaya, is now in Bangkok for one day and then he will go to Udon Thani tomorrow at noon (Don Muang) for a couple days (and then back to Pattaya). However, he made a mistake and brought his old (expired/cancelled) passport instead of his current one (which was left in Pattaya). All he has is that old passport and some ID from his country. He has no copy or anything of his current passport. Is he going to be able to travel like that? Or is he doomed to go back to Pattaya just to get his passport? This is our only day out in Bangkok and we're trying to avoid losing 4-5 hours of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Check-in, boarding staff only cares for identifying a passenger. No check for visa or the like. Very sure they will be happy with the expired passport or the other ID if name fits booking exactly. Hope he learned the lesson for next time. No distant travel without valid passport. He could still get in trouble when running into an arbitrary checkpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I frequently use my Thai driving-license as ID on domestic-flights, without any problem, not sure whether that would go for a foreign one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyBB Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I've flown NokAir, AirAsia and Thai using local (Thai) driver license and no passport, for domestic flights. But I recommend you take your passport with you when possible. Not a good idea to travel without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
