Can I use a photocopy of passport to board plane?

[FridgeMagnet1]

leaving my job and have to drop my passport and work permit off at work to be cancelled in Bangkok. In the meantime I need to go to Udon so obviously won’t have my passport with me. 
Would a photocopy of the passport be enough for boarding?

Do you have any other photo ID that you show along with your passport? Normally the will accept any photo ID.

Those should be enough.

Airlines don't check your visa status. They are no IOs. . They only need  a picture ID.

Thanks for the help guys, appreciated as always

driving license will do

Driving licence or I d card will do

Thai driving license will suffice. Foreign license will not. That was my experience anyway with ThaiSmile. Other PP will be fine.

The official list for foreigners is quite restricted. For example, it specifically mentions Thai DLs. Foreign DLs not accepted, and neither are copies of passports and etc.

As always, this is Thailand and actual experiences are probably all over the place.

Use your 2nd passport as they will check on ID only and not on the visa ...... The EU license might be difficult, as Somchai has never seen anything like that. What definitely works is a Thai driving license, so if you have the latter then Bob is your uncle!

Sorry to hear that, it was really harsh... Last month I flew Phuket-BKK-Phuket, both flights with my Thai license no problem, but it was VietJet, not AirAsia... it's crazy that different airlines has different rules.
