Are passport copies accepted for domestic flights ?

[gimo]

 If I fly from Ubon - DM - Ubon , will a passport copy at check in  be accepted , or must it be real passport only ? What about train bookings ?

[Caldera]

No, officially you need one of the documents listed here for foreigners:

They might or might not allow you to fly with some form of ID not listed there, but you cannot rely on that. For example, some people have reported success with a foreign DL.

Not sure.

 

I have been using Thai DL since ages, never a problem.

In original ofcourse

Sure, but Thai DLs are on the official list I've linked to. Foreign DLs aren't, so whether or not they'll let you fly with one is down to luck.

Driver license is ok

If you open the link above you will see that it clearly states ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS ONLY.

Looks to me based on your link that the answer is YES.

 

A Thai driver license  for a car or motorbike should work just fine.

Correct, but the OP asked about flying with a passport copy, so the answer to that is NO.

Tried once on a Bkk-Phuket Thai Lion Air flight, but was denied. Used my TDL and was accepted.

Is there some specific reason to not just use your passport? 

[Crazy Noobie]

I would say no you can not use a copy of any type of id.

The Pink Card is an Alien registration card, but the small print indicates it is only for use within the province of issue. Nevertheless Air Asia refused to accept it at Buriram airport, despite being issued in Buriram province. No problem at Don Muang for the return flight!

I just use my pink ID card.

I once had to argue being allowed to take a domestic flight after I showed up with my passport but not the credit card I'd booked the flight with. A supervisor was called and it was only because I was a gold card member that she, reluctantly, allowed me onto the plane at the last minute.

 

So I very much doubt that a paper copy of anything would be accepted.

CC not required these days. In fact in 16 years I dont recall being asked for one.

I have used drivers licence in the past. (home country DL).

 

Once I was refused at security with boarding pass issued by machine. She was not happy with my photo ID from DL.

 

Had my pp with me so produced that. Do not know what would have been the result without pp.

 

OP, why can't you provide pp.

If it's being renewed etc don't you have old pp.
