Thai nationals travelling by air can now enjoy faster check-ins with the introduction of the ThaID app, which allows them to use digital identification cards. This innovation aims to ease travel during the busy new year holiday season. As Jirayu Houngsub from the Prime Minister’s Office highlights, airports like Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi will especially see smoother check-in processes when combined with airline online services.

 

The app adds convenience by integrating with a new biometric identification system at airports, making boarding pass verification swifter and reducing queuing time. Passengers who check-in online through the Airports of Thailand platform can skip directly to the boarding gates with an electronic boarding pass. This move is part of the government's broader strategy to roll out digital IDs across state services.

 

 

Additionally, the ThaID app provides a handy backup for travellers who forget their physical IDs and streamlines other bureaucratic processes. It allows users to update government agencies on changes like residence address without needing to visit government offices, thus simplifying administrative tasks for Thai citizens.
