Tomorrow I have to go to the Amphur to get on the Blue book of my house, as I've just become a Thai citizen.  I think it would be funny to change my name to Somchai, what do you wise fellows think? I've recently renewed my UK passport so don't need a new one until 2030. 

If you do that you might have trouble renewing the passport of your home country, unless you become Somchai over there too by deed poll. Britain, for example, asks that you declare foreign passports before they'll renew your British one, and your name must be the same on all of them.

Like I said, I have my Uk passport until 2030. 

I could always just change it back again here then.

How about Johnny Walker????

Johnny Walker might work as I'm Scottish.

 

I was thinking if I had two passports then Jason Bourne might be nice.

Assuming that Thailand accepts changing back to a foreign name. Unlikely that you could be sure of that, come 2030, Thai bureaucracy being what it is. Not a big deal if you have no intention of keeping your UK passport beyond then, of course, or doing deed poll in the UK,  or wherever you're from, if such laws apply. Otherwise you could get lost in an administrative black hole between two jurisdictions. 

 

It's why I kept my original name.
