Carrying Identification in Thailand is not only the law but could in fact save your life if you was unfortunately involved in an accident. In any foreign Country carrying a copy of your passport and also your Visa stamp is a must and the law because if the Authorities e.g. Thai Police or the Thai Immigration do a spot check they may wish to see that you have a visa to stay in the Kingdom legally. But as we have seen in Thailand previously it is imperative because if you are involved in a major accident and unconscious for any reason they need to see who you are and what Nationality you are, so make sure you always at all times in Thailand carry a copy of your passport and visa. Some hospitals can actually refuse to treat you if no form of identification can be found on your person.
