    I would just suggest never making it too obvious when you jump in, never know when the taxi mafia might get jealous. 

    The Car taxi's - blue and yellow ( car taxi mafia), also can be booked via bolt, and are the first option on bolt at the reduced price, so they do not have problems.

    I would never book a motorbike via bolt, due to so many motorbike taxis around.

    Great for when you want a car at the cheapest price, far better than Grab ( @Nightcrawler)

    I have gotten caught up in a recently concluded six season TV series about a SOCAL crime family called "Animal Kingdom". It is based on an Aussie movie by the same name. The TV series has an 8.2 IMDB.

    Love the heist scenes in this show.

     

    Thanks,

    Just downloaded the movie and all 6 series

    So.....not to be ignorant or anything but......how about a Thai DL AND ID card? I have both that I carry with me. 

    Probably not.....but will task wifey to get my passport on my phone etc. 

    I have a "yellow book" too showing residence here. 

    I guess you do really know the answer to this one.

    A DL, ID card and yellow book does not show if you have overstayed.

    True, they have your passport number on your DL, up to them if they want to be difficult about it.

    Very simple to take a pic of your passport front page.

    I have a DL and I own property, I am not sure that will impress them when looking for overstay and asking for passport.

    They were also in Walking Street and Soi Buakhao areas going by reports and will continue over the weekend.

    I read the reports about walking st, hence I took the photos and was ready, just to let people know a laminated card or photo was accepted, and to give a first hand account.

    For the first time ever I was asked to show my passport by immigration guys.

    Sitting in a bar in Soi 6 yesterday (7th Dec 2022), the immigration people were going from bar to bar. When they came into the bar I was in they went from foreigner to foreigner asking them to show their passports.

    My friend had a laminated credit card sized version, my other friend had his actual passport, I had a photo on my phone, all were acceptable and they took photos of the main photo page.

    I had a picture of the main page, 90 day reporting and stamp for when to leave or renew.

    Immigration was only interested in the main photo page.

    You hear 3rd party talk about this, well this is my 1st party actual experience.
