ORIGINAL POSTER

Travelling domestic in Thailand later this year - Koh Phangan to Chiangmai. Our childrens’ visas (age 1 and 3) will have expired. Will we have any problems at the airports? Do they ask to see passports? Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Domestic travel in Thailand with expired children’s visas typically doesn't lead to fines or bans for children under 15, but they still need valid visas or extensions. Airport staff may request to see passports, regardless of visa status.

The rules are children under 15 cannot be fined for overstay and children under 18 cannot be banned for overstay BUT that doesn't mean they don't need a visa or an extension to stay here, it means there are no penalties for them not having one :)
