Which district do you live in?

 

There are 50 districts in Bangkok. Every district office issues Thai ID cards.

 

Just to let you know that it can be very difficult to get an answer if you telephone. You will probably be better going to the office in person

Current district I'm living in is Bang Rak. I know it would be difficult to get an answer if I telephone but I want to have it just in case.

Hello,

Can someone provide the contact info of the Amphur in Bangkok so that I can ask them a few questions? I've been trying to find their contact info online and can't find any.

Thank you.

Preferably an Amphur that deals with Thai IDs.

If you live in one of the bigger cities there will be foreigners who could use your help, if on the other hand you live in Nakhon Nowhere, there will just be too few foreigners, and you should focus on the teaching part.

To address foreigners one of the best options would probably be through Facebook groups, there are a variety of them, let's say you are in Bangkok, then just search for something like "bangkok expats".

Well current I'm living near Sathon but will be moving Samut Prakan soon. I see quite a few jobs that are located in Samut Prakan. I'll also search for Facebook groups and "bangkok expats" like you mentioned. Thank you very much!

I am sure they do not need to be with your or grant you consent to get your new ID card.

wow! Thank you so much! I was soo worried about my Thai ID because in Thailand you need Thai ID to do almost everything here. I confirmed with my mom that I could probably renew the Thai ID on my own without parents going to the amphur or having parental consent. If this is the case, I don't have to worry about my Thai passport too much as I would only need it if I were to leave or come back to Thailand. I can probably let my Thai passport expire when I'm 18 and when I'm 20 I can renew/apply for a new Thai passport (which only requires a few documents like an application form, Thai ID card or Thai house registration, and current Thai passport). 

Thank you so much for all of your help! It has helped me greatly.

Hello,

Can someone please explain to me how taxes are done in Thailand? My dad once mentioned to me that in Thailand if I have income under a certain amount taxes would not be deducted from it, but then again my dad has lived here for almost 30 years and has worked in Thailand as a doctor so I'm not entirely if that's still how it works (like what my dad mentioned to me) now in Thailand.

Thank you.

I don't think parental consent is needed to renew your ID card since is it mandatory you have one.

Does that mean my parents also do not have to come with me to renew my Thai ID?

How old are you?

I'm 16. I'm asking about renewing my Thai ID under age 20 because I haven't been able to find info online about this and also because of personal reasons. My Thai ID expires 1 day before my 18 birthday so I wanted to know if I could renew it when I'm under 20 years old.

Due to current economic condition, general sector employment may be difficult. Take into consideration that you have some asset because you are Thai, even if your Thai language skill is not the best. Almost every farang family needs help with family things like;

- Getting kids to and from school

- Helping older person with shopping or general like changing light bulb or running personal errand. 

- Exercising dog

- Cleaning pool

Sure, these people who would need such help have staff like maid and pool guy, but here is your advantage: You can be trusted. You speak English and have grown up in home that will most likely not be too different from theirs. They won't have to explain many times, and they will be able to have confidence in you that you will be reliable. This is the big problem many of the older farangs have in thailand - they have no one they can trust with important stuff. Sure you are kid, but if they see you as trustworthy, they would prefer to entrust family and  animals to someone like you than somchai who may smile alot, but will probably be drinking  his whiskey when

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I will keep it in mind when finding jobs.

Hello,

I'm going to turn 16 next month and I'm thinking about getting a job so that I can contribute to my family's finance and not be too dependent on my parents. I've been searching around the internet about jobs for teenagers in Thailand (for pretty much the whole year) but have not been very successful at it. Does anyone know where to find/apply for jobs in Thailand at 16 years old and what type of jobs would be best for a 16 year old in Thailand. English speaking jobs preferred but I can speak Thai with a bit of a difficult and only a beginner when it comes to reading and writing Thai (I am half Thai but my education has been more involved in English).

Thank you.

Hello,

I'm planning to travel out of Thailand with my US passport and will come back to Thailand on my US passport but I have a Thai ID and a Thai passport that expired already. What do I do? Do I have to come back to Thailand with a visa?

Thank you.

Hello,

Can I renew my Thai ID when I'm under 20 years old on my own without consent from parents or legal guardians? If so, what documents would I need and what would be the process of renewing my Thai ID?

Thank you.

Hello,

I have a Thai passport and ID that is expiring when I'm 18 and from what I know I can only renew my Thai passport and ID on my own when I'm 20 or older. Can I let my Thai passport and ID expire and either stay in Thailand or go to the USA (on my US passport) and return to Thailand with a tourist's visa and then renew my Thai passport and ID? And, if I have to go to the USA and return to Thailand with a tourist's visa should I leave Thailand on my Thai or USA passport? (I read online that I would have to use the same passport as I used when leaving the country.) And, if it's possible, can anyone tell me what documents I would need and the procedure of renewing my Thai passport and ID after they expire? I know I can let my parents go with me to renew my Thai passport and ID but I prefer not to do that for personal reasons.

Thank you.
