Identification Needed For Local Flights

[TheLaughingMan]

My lawyer has my passport for my visa renewal but I need to fly across the country for work tomorrow. I've been told that other identification will suffice. What identification is possible? The only other official ID I have is my home countries drivers license. Thanks

Photocopy of your passport.

I have always used my Thai DL with no problem. But traveling without the passport could be iffy if it is demanded by authorities somewhere on the way. But as mentioned, make sure you have at least a good photocopy with you.

So photocopy of passport is fine? You guys absolutely know this? Dont really want to leave this to chance....

I don't think a photo copy is enough to fly domestic. Call your airline and ask and ask again!!

I checked Thai airways website (guess I shoulda checked there first...) and it says for domestic flight I only need my ticket and I.D. The problem with this is I normally pick up my ticket at the counter when I check in as it is paid for by my employer. Is there a way to print my ticket before I go to the aiport so I have the ticket in hand to give them with my ID?

24 hours before the flight you can normally find your flight on TG website by using the booking number, this allows you to change seats etc, and I believe you can also print your ticket but not 100% sure on this tbh, I think you don't have to be Royal orchid member for this either.

A Thai DL works for me everytime, overseas DL not sure.....but beleive the requirement is an "offical ID".....so provided you DL had a photo and your name on it guess it would suffice
