My local office is asking for a 'Yellow Book' and ones 'passport'. No payment, free issue.

 

Passport?

I thought you said that a DL as identification was enough?

[Ahab]

I just got my yellow book and pink ID in Lahansai, Buriram and both were free. No charges other than a 200 baht request for money for "paper".

 

Mai pen rai.

To get a Pink card? Please show me where I said they'd accept a DL to obtain a Pink card.

In earlier posts you maintained that a DL as ID, instead of a passport, is enough.

It seems not, as you are using a passport to ID yourself.

There are numerous threads on the yellow book.

Requirements differ much from one district office to another.

 

Although this thread is not the latest, it will within the first few post give an idea how much requirements can vary:

 

I follow your link, congratulation KhunBENK for your clear and complete explanation for this yellow book +

A Thai driving license is compulsory in obtaining car insurance in Thailand . One must be obtained within 3 months of taking out your insurance policy. Whereas  a Thai ID card is worth zilch.

 

No matter what a farang shows at a National park these days you won't be let in at the same rate as a Thai. Thailand is for Thais.

Re the Thai driving license to obtain car insurance I would have thought that was obvious it is certainly necessary anywhere I have applied and is unrelated to ID cards

I know of many who seem to think an International license covers you in Thailand regarding obtaining insurance. I don't think it's as obvious as me and you know it to be.

You are covered by the insurance. If you care to look at the small print on Thai insurances it tells you that you must obtain a Thai licence within 3 months of your arrival in Thailand. A 12 month International Licence is good for 3 months only. That is what I'm saying.

Many farang who've been here donkeys years think their International Licence is acceptable indefinitely.

Private Hospital yesterday morning, twisted ankle.

Notorious for the "passport' requirement.....I showed my Thai-Foreigner ID and within 30 minutes all set.

It shows!!
