Thanks for your answer. I'm aware of the retractable whacking stick solution for dogs. I've street-viewed most of Prachaup Kiri Khan, plus up north (CM + CR) where road cycling is more prevalent. I'm realizing that a sealed copy of the passport ID page plus a passport card should handle it. Thanks again.

Fair enough. Again, I've never been to Thailand, I read their legalese, and have a question seeking answers from someone experienced in the subject. NFG about anyone caring.

I'm strongly considering moving to the Hua Hin area later this year as a newly-retired, first-time visitor to the kingdom. What am I required to carry with me during those mostly sweat-drenched and sometimes rained-upon rides as far as passport ID is concerned? Do farangs carry a paper copy of their passport or even the actual passport in some sort of case, or is their some credit card sized ID format that suffices as legal ID? Am I misjudging the importance of carrying such identification in the first place?
