Maybe they want the document in both Thai and English?

This is where it is a little ambiguous. They say that you can use the yellow book and that any documents submitted can be in English or Thai. They go on to say that the document must contain your name as it appears in your passport which would rule out the yellow book. There is no mention of translating the yellow book from Thai to English. Either way, I am going to use my Thai DL and forget all about yellow books!

Do you still have your UK driving licence?  If so, give your UK address as shown on the licence and provide the licence as proof.

My UK DL expired. Herein lies the absurdity of the situation as I can comply with the proof of address stipulated by the British Embassy by providing a bank statement with a UK address. This UK address is a place that I have never resided at! So, in their effort to comply with anti-money-laundering legislation they make it easier to provide proof of an address that I have never lived at than to provide proof of the address I do live at!

This is a difinitive answer, text below from my files on the process.

Works.

Spoke to Preerada (Thai) at British Embassy BKK she agreed that a Residence letter from local Immigration would be an acceptable substitute for a Yellow book.

 

She also agreed that other local documents would suffice bank statements.

Whichever no need for the yellow book.

 

She said apply for the affirmation with the substitute for the yellow book. I requested an E mail to say this would be ok but she was reluctant.

Gave me here number 023 058 247 I rang it and the recorded announcement when busy did give her name so its valid.

 

Good luck and be happy
