bolt Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Good day are Thai pink ID cards written in a way that can distinguish the nationality of the holder. For example, do countries have numbers linked to them. USA 001-123468-1091 UK 440-456789-1010 Mongolia 967-123456-1234 lao 7701 I am not asking for anyone’s specific number, but wondering specifically for UK Nationals, the first four or five digits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 From UK and mine is 61014 so looks like no pattern for nationalities. More likely, if any pattern, then relative to district office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacher Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Pink card does not show nationality. It shows you are a foreigner with the first digit, next numbers show the province, than the amphur, etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 For the pink card we are talkng about in this topic, the first digit of the ID number is always 6. Digits 2–6 identify the district office where the card was issued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, The pink card number is the same as the number in your yellow book (which you must have to obtain a Pink Card) There has been lots of discussion on the merits of them over the years-- I find it very useful to have, easy to get (but then I am talking Issan, where everything seems so much easier then BKK etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_identity_card That page has several mistakes on it. There is a lot of confusion with this pink non-Thai ID card regarding Westerners, as it is meant for migrant workers, displaced persons, and refugees, whose card usually starts with '0' By law, they must give it to it all aliens but many offices don't want to give it, as like I said, it is meant for the above, there really is no need for Westerners to have it. I think they people who work in the offices are paranoid that the law that ALL foreigners must have it will be enforced, which would be a nightmare for them. Many Thais will either laugh when seeing a farang with it, or not understand what it means. If you look on the back of it, it says 'you can't travel outside the province it is registered in without formal written document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
