sallecc Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Planning a road trip out of Phuket for some sightseeing... Passport is not with me, is Thai driving licence enough for Chatchai checkpoint? (if the checkpoint is still there?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Yes. No checks expected. But always a good idea to have passport or at least a copy on your phone images. Edited February 4, 2023 by LivinginKata 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 25+ visits to, and never asked for either. Should always have both with you, DL at least. Can't really remember ever being asked for PP in TH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlog Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Yup DL is enough. I go to Phang Nga every week and never have my PP with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agusts Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Most hotels ask for a copy of passport, we rode our bikes from south to north of Thailand and every hotel on the way said Thai DL is not accepted and wanted copy of passport that we had (we didn't take our passport though ...!) All police check points just waved us through, they never stop motorbikes... Edited March 3, 2023 by Agusts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdsa Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 if your car has Phuket license plate then there is like zero percent chance you will be asked for any documents. If Bangkok or any other far province then the DL should be sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFPhuket Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I was asked for my passport once last year (I have Phuket license tags) coming into Phuket. I handed over my driver's license instead and it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issanman Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I drove through a couple of days ago at around 3pm and the checkpoint was unmanned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
