Yes when I am back in the US my CA Drivers license is sufficient. But in LOS only a Passport will do. Big difference between carrying a passport compard to carrying a DL.  Also, my CA DL has pretty much worthless in LOS. Also, I have not been called "Dude" in a very long time. 

First, congrats on the Dude, thing! 

After that, I was not talking about your CA DL. What we are talking about is that a Thai pink ID card or a Thai DL works in many cases. If you do not have valid ID issued in the country you reside in or visit, you must use your passport. It´s just to accept, Dude.

Good for you, but not all requirements for a pink ID card are within the control of the applicant.  It cannot "be made to happen" just like that if the property owner is non-compliant, as is their privilege.

 

It can "be made to happen" with a different property owner, including yourself, DUH.

Ok Dude.  Do not have a Pink or a Thai DL.  So I will have to use the old passport.  Got it, "Lebowski".

Great! I am glad that I was able to spread some clarity.

As always this seems redundant (TIT) but a month  ago Bangkok Bank directed me to come into a local branch to register again.  This process as always required my passport being copied again and this time I had to have my face photographed from varioous angles like a booking photo after being arrested.  Now that Bangkok Bank has all this information about me I still need to bring my passport in just to make a cash deposit.  "Somewhere in the world former Aseannow Member Bob Smith must be smiling".  

Me too . Recently logged on to the Bangkok Bank web site . Had to provide D.O.B & PP number . Then up pops the face recognition system which I did not have . So off to my local BBK to have my picture taken .  It took the bank lady several attempts to take an acceptable photo . Why not use a finger print app I asked , not have was the reply  . Or is there another motive for taking a photo ?

Course, some overstayers may have lost their passports.)

Yeah, or afraid to show them as they are on overstay.

It's just all so complicated, the idea that two other kinds of ID--Thai ID--could sometimes be used in lieu of one's passport, so obviating the need to carry it.🙂 But then, after laborious ratiocination, only to arrive at the triumphant conclusion that if one doesn't have either alternative ID, a passport must indeed suffice.

The bank that is really over the top in this regard is TTb.   Bangkok bank might be the most easy going
