Milli's positive experience with ID card stirs up discussions on social media

[snoop1130]

 

Many people in Thailand are often hesitant to show their national ID cards due to reasons like the photo not representing them accurately or appearing distorted. The issue is that the officials taking these photos typically don't allow the individuals to review or retake the photos if they're dissatisfied.

 

This concern recently gained attention among Thai internet users after Thai rapper and singer, Danupha Khanatheerakul, popularly known as “Milli”, shared her experience of getting an ID card at the Bang Phlat district office on her social media account, @millimdk. She expressed delight over her ID photo, which she felt was nice because it showed her looking attractive with good lighting and hairstyle.

 

Milli's post went viral, leading to many internet users expressing an interest in applying for their ID cards at the Bang Phlat district office. Capitalizing on this interest, the district office shared Milli’s post on its Facebook page. They invited individuals needing new ID cards, asking, “Does your identity card expire? If you want a nice photo, come to the Bang Phlat district office.” They added that their working hours are from 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday.

 

The post garnered many "likes" and positive comments from internet users.

I'm waiting for the Justice Ministry to advertise "sexy mugshots" and the Ministry of Finance to tax them.

Are Thais the most vainest people in the world ?

Unfortunately it gains interest with those who vote (at someone else's directive) and they reproduce.

Off topic but related to government ID cards. 

I have a military ID card that has the ugliest black and white picture of me, of any other pictures of me that I have, on any other ID card (is that a convoluted statement?)   The military ID card office will not retake the picture and reissue the ID card.   

 

My wife's picture on her military ID card, however, looks pretty good.

Not while they're stressed about their ID card photo and apathetic to crime and corruption.

When I did my Pink ID card , I was told I had to come back the following morning.

I arrived early to beat the rush , didn't matter ,  Thais were given preference all through the day ,  and I didn't get mine done until 4:30 that afternoon.

Needless to say , I looked knackered , red eyes , droopy bags etc.

Must be the worst photo I have had taken ever.
