From my experience, I had one that was valid for 12 months from the date of issue. I still got fined in Chiangmai as they will only recognize the validity for 3 months. Right or wrong this is fact. Better to take this document to the driver licensing authority and take a simple eyesight colour test and watch a 40 minute video to be fully insured and legal.

yes we have received the house book. This is why I needed my passport to update my TM30 and residency so I can then update my driving licenses I also needed it to get the yellow house book for myself. It’s all good now I’ve found it. Thanks for your input

555 I’ve already made new copies of everything and filed them in my new tool box 😂

I hope all this information helps someone, and I’m very grateful for all the replies. I knew I had placed it in a safe place, but that even prevented me from finding it, until now! If it wasn’t for changing a leaky tap I’m might never have found it. What retard put a passport in a tool box?

This one!

Thank you to those who took the time to reply. I love the way people take the time to help out others, I hope one day I can return the favour.

Thank you Guys, it appears that the box with all these photocopies, passport and bank books is the one box that’s missing. However your recommendations are much appreciated, as I’ve not been in this situation before. Thanks
