That was not what the poster was asking. Also, if you have 2 passports... say 1 UK and 1 US you can pick and choice which you travel or enter/depart on. Though it would be wise to exit on the one that used to enter. I do all the time with my US and UK passports Born in US qualified for UK based upon marriage.
Not wanting to get into a vast conversation on this subject ... I was referring to facial recognition by their system. Yes, photos are taken, but the question is whether the system has stored them and then can cross reference them based upon different passport numbers (which are kept by the system... along with any yellow or red flags associated with the individual). That said, perhaps the Thai system is on par with ... say the UK, the US, Canada, Switzerland, Israel, or the EU, just as a few. I doubt it.... given that Thai Immigration cannot get their 90-day system to function consistently and Swampy's systems go down regularly. But okay... I hear you. Maybe my use of the word "highly" was too much. My apologies.
2 passports... two different issuing countries... two different passport numbers..... okay same name and DOB.... and same person. The immigration system here doesn't look at faces...finger prints yes... but connecting them within the system here is highly unlikely.
yes that can work. Done it myself last passport renewal. However ...not always without a conversation... explaining both common sense and the finer points of reality.
