90 day reporting experience - Pai

I brought:

Passport

Tm30

Tm47

Waited 5 min, the officer asked for my passport, whipped out a tm47 with my information filled out somehow (?), didn’t ask to see the two forms I brought. Super easy. Next up: residency certificate and Thai driver license😎

Hello ☺️

I was hoping for some feedback.

Do you need a passport to fly from Phuket to Bangkok for proof of identification?

My friend who needs to fly with me has a Thai drivers license and I only have an identification card from Australia. Both our passports are being processed for work permits.

Obviously it is up to the airline’s discretion, I’m just curious if anyone has a negative experience where they have not been able to fly domestically within Thailand without a passport.

Thanks so much 🙏🏽

Will insurance companies cover drivers with an International Drivers License (not IDP)? If not is there insurance I can get until I obtain an actual Thai driver’s license?

Also must a Thai license be obtained in your home residential province? Example obtain license in PhangNga but residence in Phuket
