Anonymous participant 705 I like to have both, seems pointless having a passport book nowadays may as well just have a card instead as the only page that's required is the bio data page
Definitely not dangerous, I feel so safe here, I go for walks by myself at night to go get my massages, my husband doesn't worry about me here when I'm on my own as he works FIFO in Western Australia, back home in Australia I never felt safe, always hasseled by bogan's and locals for money etc, western people are agro and just plain nasty, whereas the Thais are respectful beautiful friendly people, we do lots of walking, hubby is thinking about joining lawn bowls, we have a puppy to keep us occupied and we live in a villa so have a garden etc, we are actually leading a healthier life here because we feel safe going for walks, always avoided it back home which made us lazy
Yes my husband and I just got our Thai driver's license in Phuket, really easy to get make sure you have an IDP and your home country license, a passport size photo, copies of the data page of passport and page with visa stamp, and you'll need a certificate of residency, only a two year license being on DTV
