ableguy Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hi Guys, my girlfriend like many Thais has changed her first name , her current passport is in her old name, she has a new ID card in her new name.

jybkk Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 There's no reason for them to ask to see a Thai ID. It is not a travel document. Many countries don't even have ID cards. Just show passports, they will check if they are legit, still valid, and if the picture match. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
