Nikkijah Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I want to fly tomorrow to Koh Chang from BKK but my passport is in the embassy for renewal, will it be needed or can I use the receipt for my passport from the embassy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grtaylor Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Thai Driving Licence should be OK - its worked for me in the past. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Me too. I would just make sure you take the receipt from the embassy just in case. Shouldn't have any problems though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Unfortunately, it is my understanding they are not supposed to let you fly without the passport. I wouldn't try it. Things are changing these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREM-R Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 You may have noticed in the 'fuss' about the VOA that all the official notices quote Passport or alternative document. If you have the receipt for your passport renewal from the embassy that is an "alternative document" and so is valid. I would however take some 'Photo" ID with you ie driving licence, just in case.

Nikkijah Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Thanks for you thoughts, I don't have a driving licence though And I don't have any other form of photo ID Has anybody travelled domestically without their passport before?

PREM-R Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 (edited) If you don't have any photo ID why not call the airline office and explain your situation and ask if they can accept your passport receipt as ID.

george Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 It's not the airline, it's the Airport security folks that checks for ID's before/after the hand luggage scanning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
