It depends a lot on your landlord and how willing they are to help you. The house owner has to cooperate and have to show up with you at the amphur with their ID and house book. You will need your passport and valid permission to stay. Once you are registered in the yellow house book, you can normally apply for the pink ID card.

You can be asked for marriage certificate if you are registered married in Thailand.

I forgot that some amphur require passports to be officially translated and legalized for your name as well, while some just ask for your Thai name in writing. I did mine on location while applying, but that’s years ago now, and they even demanded a bribe to do it in one day.

Thanks.It's the translating and legalising I particularly wanted to know about re Banglamung.

On a rented property, I would not bother.

When you move, the yellow book stays with the property.

Way to much sodding about to get it in pattaya.

But good luck.

You won't need to apply separately for the pink ID it comes automatically with the yellow book , nowadays my local amphur ( not banglamung) will not issue them unless one is married to a Thai Most require evidence of parents names I used copies of the documents I had translated from when I got married here even though they were years old they were still accepted Other than translation costs the process should be free although I think they charged me 20bt for a plastic wallet for the card

I have yet to find anybody with any interest in me having the yellow book or the card quite disappointing so far , but I reckon they may well become more significant in the future , should that happen I imagine they will become more difficult to obtain,

Make sure you have copies of your passport, driving licences, etc. We always have extra copies made, and if we legalise a paper, we also make sure to add a few extra copies that can come in handy later.

The official prices for the Yellow House Book (Tabien Baan) and the Pink ID Card have been in effect for over 18 years, since 2008. [1, 2]

The pricing structure established by the Ministry of Interior regulations is detailed below:

Official Price Breakdown

• Yellow House Book (Thor Ror 13): 0 THB (Free). Local district offices (Amphur or Khet) are legally prohibited from charging a standard fee to issue or update a new book. A tiny fee (around 10–20 THB) may only apply for a replacement if the original book is lost or damaged. [1, 3, 4]

• Pink ID Card (Non-Thai Citizen ID): 60 THB. Under Clause 8 of the Ministerial Regulation introduced in B.E. 2551 (2008), the standard fee nationwide is set at 60 Baht for the initial card or its 10-year renewal.[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

There is no general requirement to be married to get a yellow house book. The official DOPA requirements for adding a foreigner to the house registration do not list marriage as a condition

It seems to be correct information and requirments here.

Does Banglamung need notarised and translated to Thai copies of your passport as this involves a trip to Bangkok?
