Does a Thai Minor Need ID to Travel Domestically ?

Depends on the age, but Thai children now also have an ID-card from age 5 or 6 I believe.

For air travel it is required at check-in.

Sorry, she is under 2 years - has original Birth Certificate, but no ID Card as yet

Than no ID-required as far as I know, but do take the birth certificate with you.

Edit:

Just checked, children age 7 and up are required to have an ID-card.

Thai ID card can be obtained at that age (I think it is 7 or 8) but is not always done. Their birth certificate or house book works for kids.

ID is required. And it had best be correct - we were almost denied boarding years ago in Chiang Mai because granddaughters name had been incorrectly entered on BC and had to be changed - ticket was in correct name - luckily had the document of correction in same folder as BC but airline staff failed to see (and even argued about it when pointed out).

For my son, I have used his passport since age 1.

[GirlDrinkDrunk]

if they are going to fly, yes.

Friends of us forgot the ID cards of their children. Luckily it was a domestic flight, so I ran over to their house and scanned the children's ID-cards and send it by email. They showed that on their children's tablet and the children were allowed to board (Airasia flight). Exciting 20 minutes for them.

if its a hilltribe person they must have a thai sponsor.

We were not allowed to check in for our flight to Chiang Mai last year unless provided ID for my 3 and 6 year old. Luckily we had copies of their birth certificates on my laptop
