Is a Thai Driver’s License an acceptable form of ID for domestic air travel?

Duncan *******

Yes - except for when it isn't. Happened to me once - boarding gate at CNX, showed my DL and boarding pass and they insisted I show them my passport. Other times never had a problem.

What type of plug adapter do I need for US devices in Thailand?

Duncan *******

This is a standard Thai powerpoint. Older places may not support Type B - US three-pin then you need a three-pin to two-pin converter. As long as your device can accept 220 volts which most modern electronics will (things like hairdryers won't), you will be fine.
