Smart ID card now available for Pattaya residents
City hall has asked Pattaya residents to apply for one of the new smart ID cards
that are replacing the old-style ID card, and which are available free at
Pattaya City Registration Office from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday,
and from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Applicants should bring along their existing ID card, copies of house
registration documents, and a passport if they have one.

contact with official and private organizations. The Thai government has
implemented the new card so that all regular information is readily accessible,
and holders need to present only the one card when they are using government or
private organization services.

each year. These are children with terminal illnesses, who, if they are
lucky, will have just one more chance of writing that letter.
