Some hotels won't let you check in with just Thai driver license now, 'policy is for passport' 

What exactly is required of them in order to report T.M. 30? the passport number on driving license might not be current is understandable

 

for hotels that is this strict about reporting I doubt pink ID card would be acceptable too, it's not like they can put you down as a Thai person checking in

Mabey in Chatuchak wekend market in Bamgkok

Same thing with Hua Hin airport, a lot of talking about flights to Singapore and KL, but so far only flights to Chiangmai

Don’t worry Cha-am is still nice, still not many foreign tourists, but it looks that many will return in January and February, lesser Thai tourist because the high cost of living, but still very busy in the weekends.

There was just a busy festival on the beach for 9 days, 5-6 November a Harley Davidson festival, some shops and restaurants closed down, but nor many 

There is a very good airco bus from the airport to Hua Hin, Bell Company, there office is on the first floor, at gate 8

Chutachak market I read has opened up, lots of stalls, lots to see. 

Across the road is a beautiful park, it's huge, nice walking 

Was there last saturday, most of the shops were closed

Cha-am Hospital started Pfizer vaccination today 13,30 - 15.30

If your hotel have Cha-am cable tv, then you can watch it on Fox sport, if not then in the bar street on the corner is a sport bar

I married twice to a Thai women,the first was married before the second never, in both cases nobody ever talked about sinsod

It has always been Neil's Tavern and it was originally located in Siam Square (which is the only location I have eaten at) on a Soi behind the 3 movie theaters.  It moved to Soi Rum Rudee in the 70's and had since opened a branch on Asoke which is currently closed.     

When I came to Thailand in 1978 Neil's Tavern was the place to be for the best steak, and yes it was or in Siam Square or in Rum Rudee

There is not much in Petchaburi, and there is als  not much in Chao Samran, so you have to go a little bit more south, sofitel hotel is about 25 km south, 7-8 km before Cha-am, in Cha-am there are many more good hotels

1971 with Neckermann travel one of the first cheap trips to Thailand, in Euro about 450 euro for flight from Frankfurt and back, hotel transfer and breakfast for 17 days. our hotel was Raya hotel, next to the nana hotel

Went to Hua Hin Immigration a few days ago for my 90 days and one year, no form like this at all

Thx for all the replies guys. I understand that when an OP says it is a friend who wants to know, we assume it is the poster who is the real one with the problem, but in this case it really is a friend and when I told him its risky, he left it with me, gave me 100$ and asked me to mail it to him. So now my question isn't about taking it in the baggage, it's about mailing it. Lol

Most postparcels are going true a scan, if they see the Buddha statue they will conficate the whole postparcel, this happened to a friend of my

Thailand is only ideal for a holiday, or for older people who wish to relax whilst they enjoy their retirement.

100% correct.

I've lived in LOS on and off for years, but enjoy it less living there than when I visited on holiday.

To really enjoy retirement would take much more money than I have. I'd love to live on the beach, but can't afford that.

Disagree. I live and work here, and would not want to live anywhere else

I do agree with you, I live and before worked here, and also would not to live anywhere else.

I am living here for more then 26 years, trafel often, but in 26 years no police or other official have ever asked me for a ID or passport
