Steve Smith strikes again... Unless from an official source it's nothing to worry about. They're not going to temporarily detain almost every foreigner while they confirm their ID's. Laughable.

Not everything you read on the internet is true
Re: Rumours that police will be stopping and checking passports of foreigners for legal status?
Even if it were true, only fools would be silly enough to carry their original passport around with them. I personally always have a copy of the bio-page and current Visa EOS on my phone just in case, and take a photocopy for the local authorities when travelling out to the provinces.

Stop doubting. Everything that has ever been posted on Facebook is absolutely and verifiably true. They wouldn't have it any other way.Phnomenally wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 3:40 pm I don't know if this is allowed here, I apologize if it's not. It's something I just saw posted on facebook and I don't know if it's true, I hope it is just hype and not true.

"True" in the the new post-modernist, post-science, sense.

Exactly, ATST. I have an album on my phone, computer, laptop and tablet named Vitals. In go photos of every update, new visa, new extension, new passport. Plus I have a colour copy of my passport bio page, extension and last entry on an A4 paper that I keep in my wallet. This is something you learn to do in Thailand. No way will I carry my passport.
