In this particular case, an individual was interested in traveling from Bangkok to Pattaya without his passport, which was in the process of being renewed. His query was whether it was possible to undertake this journey by bus or train, and what complications he might face without having his passport on hand.
Our team at Baan Smile advised the individual that while it is indeed possible to travel without a physical passport, it is still highly recommended to keep it close at all times. This is due to the fact that in the event of any unforeseen circumstances, a passport is a vital legal document that proves the individual's legal status in Thailand. Without it, the individual could face potential legal issues, ranging from being issued a ticket to having to pay a bribe.
Furthermore, without a physical passport, the individual would be unable to exchange money at counters as it is a requirement to present one. Additionally, most accommodations in Thailand require a passport for booking and checking-in. Therefore, travelling without a passport could pose significant inconveniences.
However, as a workaround, we suggested that the individual always travel with a digital copy of his passport. Although it may not replace the original in all situations, it can still be useful in avoiding potential problems.
To conclude, at Baan Smile, we strongly recommend our clients to always have their passports with them while traveling within Thailand. While digital copies can be beneficial in some circumstances, they cannot entirely replace the original document. Our team is always ready to guide our clients through these processes and ensure they have a smooth and pleasant journey while visiting, working or retiring in Thailand.
"The team at Baan smile were so professional the customer service was excellent. I first called to get help with extending my tourist visa. They were so honest on the phone they advised me if I wanted I could do extension myself and would only be 1,900 baht. I appreciated the honesty and advised that I prefer a company that has experience and would relieve my headache trying to figure on my own. The team took over and completed all necessary paperwork and got all my information from me that was needed. They scheduled a day to meet at Immigration and I was met by them. They walked me through process and it was so simple. I am happy to have met the team at BAAN SMILE. I will be calling them for all my needs and services in Thailand."
"Thank you Numfhon and the team for advising and helping me through the complete retirement visa process. They’re a friendly polite team you want to keep in your contact list to help you transition into your new Thailand life."
"I could not be any happier with Numfhon and the team at Thai Kru. Once I meet with them I knew they were the right choice. They told me the steps needed to be done to get my retirement visa, told me the price, no hidden fees. They helped me get everything I needed, they did all the paperwork, took me everywhere I needed to go, set up apps on my phone. Got my Visa in a couple of days, could not have been easier, money well spent. I consider Numfhon and the team my two good friends."
