They say it is the law. I made a recommendation of passport or photocopy. You may not have been here long enough to know that the police don't care. They ask for passports. You can argue "I know the law" but they have a reputation for asking for a passport. I just came from the bank and the passport was the first thing they asked for. I showed my pink card but they took the passport as it was used and registered with them when I opened the account. My recommendation is always carry the passport or a photocopy. The embassy recommendation too.

As embassies also recommend carrying your passport or a photocopy I don't understand why you deny this.

Appears that they don’t enjoy meeting real voters.

Seems people who have been here a while know what to do. https://www.richardbarrow.com/2013/08/always-carry-your-passport-or-a-copy-while-in-thailand/ read the identification paragraph near the bottom. https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/thailand

Egg on the face much? https://www.richardbarrow.com/2013/08/always-carry-your-passport-or-a-copy-while-in-thailand/ most embassies recommend the original or a copy, as I wrote.

Read the news. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/436133/passports-better-safe-than-sorry Thinking that a Thai policeman knows what a foreign driving license looks iffy not to carry a passport or copy. tell the US embassy they are wrong. We strongly recommend you carry a copy of your U.S. passport identification page and current Thai visa to help avoid detention by the Thai immigration police.

You maybe right, but many believe the police can demand a passport. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/436133/passports-better-safe-than-sorry

As mentioned above, the British passport office knows it is against the law not to have your passport on you at all times in Thailand. Police would ask for it as well as banks. My bank doesn't even accept my pink card (they should but they don't). Just applied for a passport renewal last week and photocopied every page in color. as requested. They gave back my passport until the new one arrives in 11 weeks. They will cancel it when I get the new one. I guess the American embassy has a reason. Perhaps photocopy the picture page and fold it into your wallet.

Strange that the guy who ordered others to die is still alive.

Escape one jail, enter another.

Strategy: Let Anutin be PM of a minority government. Don't allow him to pass any legislation and call for a new election. Win by a landslide.

Too many young people cheering him has led Pita to believe everyone supports him. But rural old people are very conservative and still support the status quo. Frankly, I think a political party can create new policies after it gains power, thus not contradicting anything.

There has been a plethora of intelligent TV series from the UK over the years. Not sure which can be classified as dumb. Prime Suspect The Thick of It Killing Eve Luther Yes Minister Sapphire & Steel Every Le Carre drama Mastermind

The value of the media shares is irrelevant. The number of shares is irrelevant. MPs are not allowed to own shares full stop. As for getting rid of them, I suspect going to iTV offices or InTouch offices and saying take them back and get me off the list of shareholders has not been thought of or we would have heard about it.

Some years ago, the government introduced a computerized system for traffic lights. A policeman chopped the wires up at one site. I can't imagine the police leaving their airconditioned booths to do actual police work.

It isn't as if what he said was untrue, but politically, his father may have to work with MF.

The fact that Fox is not a news channel and it has been proven to lie (Dominion) then why is AN even quoting from it?

It is no surprise that people think of climate change according to the weather in the place they reside. But if you look at how the global temperature has risen over a hundred years, it begins to make sense.

I don't know if it the end. The Thai Rak Thai Party once won 325 seats in a landslide, so Move Forward needs to do better in the next election.

So many buffaloes. They all voted for him.

Hermaphrodite. Debate.

Flipping the bird is an American symbol, not Thai. Seems her international education is complete.

I believe Thailand is one of the only countries that put defamation into criminal law, meaning you can be jailed. Usually it comes under civil law, meaning you have to pay money if you lose.

Getting all the small potatoes to vote for him is a good move then if a few senators join in even better.
