Yellow House Book and Pink Card
This topic has been done to death over multiple threads over recent years. The main thing to bear in mind is that each amphur office has different requirements. Some say must be married, some don't. Some say it cannot be done unless you own a condo, some don't. Some take months to issue, some do it immediately. Some just refuse point blank to issue a yellow book (pink ID card is a simple addition once yellow book issued). I got my yellow book and pink ID card in 2019. It has been useful, especially for extensions of stay and with the DLT for driving licence and vehicle registration. I do find more hotels are happy to accept it these days (always have a picture of passport and entry stamp on phone just in case). -

Chaos on Pattaya Beach: Drunk tourists fuel brawls in hotspot
Photo courtesy of Pattaya Mail By Puntid Tantivangphaisal Pattaya Beach, known for its stunning coastline and electrifying nightlife, is grappling with a surge in alcohol-fuelled brawls involving unruly tourists. Once a haven for relaxation and revelry, the iconic destination has seen a troubling rise in disruptive incidents, leaving locals and officials concerned about the city’s reputation. Reports reveal that drunken altercations have become an all-too-common sight, particularly after dark, in the bustling beach areas. Heated arguments, physical fights, and aggressive behaviours frequently disrupt the peace, posing safety risks to visitors and residents. Some clashes have escalated to the point of requiring police intervention, adding strain to Pattaya’s already overstretched law enforcement. The clashes are often concentrated near the beach’s lively bars, restaurants, and clubs, where the intoxicating mix of alcohol, loud music, and dense crowds fuels tempers. Tourists, emboldened by the party atmosphere, sometimes disregard local norms, further inflaming tensions. In response, local officials are stepping up efforts to curb the chaos. Police patrols have been increased in high-traffic areas, and stricter regulations on public alcohol consumption are being enforced. Discussions are also underway to establish designated drinking zones to keep the revelry contained, said a police spokesperson. “We rely heavily on tourism, but respect for the local environment and its people is essential to maintaining a welcoming and safe atmosphere for all.” While Pattaya’s vibrant nightlife remains a major draw, authorities are walking a tightrope between preserving the city’s allure and ensuring public safety, reported Pattaya Mail. As discussions on long-term solutions continue, the city is urging tourists to enjoy responsibly and remember the golden rule: “Party hard, but respect harder.” The “Party hard, but respect harder” theme was ignored last night as a Thai man attacked a Swiss tourist with a cue stick at a bar in Pattaya, accusing the foreigner of cheating during a game of pool. Rescuers from the Sawang Borriboon Dhammstan Foundation responded to the incident at a bar on Soi Khao Ta Lo in Bang Lamung district, Pattaya, on January 15, following reports of a physical altercation. Officers from Nong Prue Police Station later arrived at the scene. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-16 -
