Thrilled, Travelling on a Photo copy... was this for international travel or internal flights?

I make a point also of having a good scan of my passport That I copy to:

• My PC
• My laptop
• My Phone
• My cloud back up

I am still sceptical on you being able to travel on a photo copy, though if you are British you can return on a expired passport.

Maybe in a few years passports will too be in the clouds, or something similar maybe a system run by participating countries where you details are kept on national computers, when you arrive at passport control you scan a barcode or QR code that allows the officer to get immediate passport info and a picture of you without the need for a passport.

You can travel domestically in Thailand on a copy... Some silly fool had we scan and email his to the airport because he forgot it..

Fool or Tool?

I wonder about the need for a passport in general, domestically. For a flight I get it..
