Work permit domestic flight AirAsia

[johnny1966]

Looking to fly with AirAsia Bangkok to Udon Thani. My passport currently with agent and may not have back in time for flight. Difficult to contact AirAsia these days. Can I use my original work permit and copy passport for the flight? Thanks for any replies.

Do you have photo id. Something like drivers license Thai or Home country.

They normally will accept any photo ID. Some people have used a Thai drivers license to take flights.

The Thai work permit has a photo. Is this not sufficient?

I've used a work permit to board flights on Air Asia before (Don Mueang to/from Khon Kaen). Granted, this was in 2017 and I had two Thai DLs (one car, one motorcycle) as backup.

 

In theory, it should be allowed as your WP is official, Thai govt. ID and proof of identity. That being said, I'd highly recommend you have a Thai DL or some other Thai govt. issued photo ID as backup.

Cheers. I don't have a DL or other photo id so guess I'll try it with the WP and see what happens.

A work permit has a photo on it.

Is it easier to carry a wp than a passport? What's the problem?

Problem? Have you read the OP?

OP, bumping this as you have not received definitive reply. What you need is a recent report. 

I started flying with my Oz drivers license for domestic travel. All good.

Then some time ago the clerk at entry to departure lounge wanted my pp.

Maybe just inexperienced clerk.

Cheers Doc. I rang nokair, they told me wp ok, Thai smile no, cannot contact AirAsia as it has that automated thingy which makes it almost impossible to get an answer.
