I finally got my yellow book which is called the Tabian Baan and the Pink Thai ID Card. So what is the Tabian Baan, it's a house registration or Household Reigstration book. As I am not a permanent resident, I get a yellow one. This can be useful in situations when I have to prove I live in Thailand and show proof of address such as for getting my drivers license issued here, registering vehicle purchases, opening a bank account etc.
It's actually a relatively straightforward process if you know what you're doing. Unfortunately I had a fiasco with the condo office switching my middle and last names in the registration of my title for my condo purchase which had me do a lot of extra work to get it done. The American embassy is also possibly one of the worst embassies out here as far as their citizen services so it caused a bit of confusion but when I figured it out, it was pretty straight forward how one can get the translated passport copy which I will cover in detail so you won't have to do as much research as I did.
Lastly the Pink Thai ID card is a national ID card issued to foreigners with your name recorded in Thai and only 60 baht for processing if you request it when getting the yellow Tabien Ban Book. I have heard unlike the drivers license, this ID card will get you into national parks at local prices etc so I have my fingers crossed. This ID card should also no longer give my Bank and Telecom companies excuses for insisting I bring my passport to identify myself as their reasoning to me is that they can't use my driver's license from Thailand although it's issued by Thailand because my name isn't recorded in Thai. Doesn't make sense cause my passport is also in English but now I have something to give them.
I'll update you guys as to how effective and cost saving these documents are as I gain experience using them in lieu of the more expensive documentation such as the address verification letters from the American embassies that cost 50 dollars per each one.
