you can live in a Thai household and the house master can add you to the blue book which allows you to get a yellow book and a pink id card at the amphur office
You can also own a house (Pattaya gives expats blue books no idea why) and get a yellow book as well
The pink card some will say is useless but I know how to use it so it’s not useless it gives you a thai 13 digit ID number so use it to get a SIM card and DL plus add it to a bank acct
With the pink id and yellow house book get your DL with the 13 digit number, it helps out because if you use your passport every-time you get a new passport you have to update the DL…
the pink id number is for life
Also you can open a bank acct and get a SIM card with the 13 digit number on the pink id
And the best part is the fast track at the airport…no more long lines
Blue book make sure she’s the blue book house master if not a TM30 will need to be filled out by the blue book house master to say yes he’s staying here along with a scan/photo of the house masters ID card
