Thailand regulations requires the pp to be valid for 6 months beyond your intended stay. When the airline scans your pp it will highlight pp not valid for travel.

You are asking this question when you fly in 4 days, unbelievable.
Some airlines insist on at least 6 months left on a passport. Good luck.

mate I did apply passport renewal, due to unconditional situation it didn't get through and I don't want to loose money by postponing this trip if we have any exception.

I would think if you have your return flight already booked, you will be fine. But yeah, check your airline.

I think the real question is will your airline allow you to board the plane. I'd call and ask.
