TLDR : Answer Summary
If you receive a QR code with an incorrect date of birth, it is advisable to contact the relevant authority via the provided email (thpass@tp.consular.go.th) for assistance. You may need to reapply or correct the information since Thailand uses the date format "dd/mm/yyyy," which might differ from what you expected.

Traveling in January I took note about the validity of the Thai pass👌 assuming it's 3months

Are you younger or older than they say? Sorry just being facetious. I’ve not seen anyone post that particular issue before. My guess is you’d have to apply again. Thailand uses the format of “dd/mm/yyyy” rather than the American system of “mm/dd/yyyy”.

the input on the application is dd/mm/yyyy, but the delivered pass comes yyyy/mm/dd. But TiT. 😁

Formats dd/mm/yyyy and yyyy/mm/dd both have some logic but format mm/dd/yyyy doesn't

mm/dd/yyyy is a copy of the old style "On November the 6th, 2021" written on letter heads.

OK, seems fine using words but this format should be scrapped when using numbers only

of course, the old way isn't computer friendly at all. Different eras, different needs.

I agree, however old French civil registrar documents were yyyy/dd/mm up to 1920.

not seen that one before either. The system seems to be crazy with so many issues. Only hope for most that they can sort it out soon.

The developer in charge of the portal has been trained in Europe, whereas the one in charge of the pass graduated in Silicon valley đŸ€ŁđŸ˜‚
