Practical Information
Visitors to Thailand are required to carry their passport at all times, even when they're not flying. Although you don't usually need a passport to fly domestic, as a foreigner you will probably be asked to show your passport and entry visa. Try to arrive at the airport about two hours before your flight departs to give yourself plenty of time to get through security.
