TLDR : Answer Summary

When traveling to Thailand, black and white copies of documents are generally acceptable. However, it's recommended to use blue ink when filling in or signing forms, as there may be an issue with black ink being perceived as a copy.

Just make sure anything you need to fill in or sign that you print off yourself, you do it in blue ink. They have a weird thing about filling in forms in black ink, saying it might be a copy
