Easy to sort this .. Just age him like they do a tree by counting the rings .. Might mean having to cut an arm or leg off though .. 

Nah.  Just run a cheese core sampler into his ear.

There would be a few forum members who have been in Thailand far longer than this bloke judging by some comments we see from time to time.

Nope. 25 years ago + 25 years ago + 25 years ago -- 75 years + 15 years at marriage = 90 years old. 

How about 33+33+33+15 = 114 and that's his WIFE's age!

Fake news. He’s 91 and it’s a mistake on the card.

A 109 year old woman was asked, what do you attribute your long life to?  

Not dying she answered!

I put instant coffee in a microwave and it went back in time!

I've seen some old ID cards... older ones dont have a day and month on them typically because the parents had to go to amphur to register the birth and no other records are available... in addition to this, my wife's old ID card had her name spelled incorrectly... now I'm not saying hes not 128... I'm just saying that maybe more than a thai ID card may be required to verify his age ????

Bull pucky.

I think its a typo, maybe he is 98 years old. 
He doesn't look a day over 99 if you ask me.

Wow ???? – well done, good to see a happy old man – seems like we should eat more fermented fish to keep up a healthy long-time lifestyle.

 

The other day I noticed that the small fridge on second floor in my house began to have a weird, not that pleasant smell. A shelf was stuffed with strange small containers, so I asked my lovely girlfriend if she knew what it was?

»Rotten fish,« she said.

I presume she also plan for longevity...????

Hopefully with someone else.

UPDATE:

 

Just a misunderstanding! 128 year old Thai man turns out to be forty years younger!

They must count years, in the same way as tourist numbers!

Maybe someone else would appreciate the rotten fish smell.

Regarding the spelling of names.  I have Thai relatives here in the United States.  Siblings they are. 

There are three different spellings of their last name in English.  Those names were spelled differently, in English, by the Thai government employees.
