BattyBatty Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Can anyone confirm an idle runour i hear that ferrangs are now required to carry passport at all times? Of course this law has allways been around, but apparently becasue of the coup it is now very much enforced and there will be many checks? Can anyone confirm if this is just a humble rumour?

Pink Mist Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 you are allways required to carry ID, as a Farang the passport is suitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GracelessFawn Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I've been asked by my HR to carry my 'work permit' at all times, in case I get checked, asked to present it, and as a precaution. She was a bit worried because I don't speak Thai, and she said that there are a lot of millitary guys roaming town! Ironic, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffphuket Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I've always got my Thai driving licence with me at all times. This would probably be accepted as proof of who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should use the word "foreigner" rather than "farang" in the context of this discussion.It is more accurate. Technically, coup or not, a foreigner should at all times carry proof of their identity and valid immigration status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity what is the definition of a farang as opposed to a foreigner? TBWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
