Excellent replies. Much appreciated.
My aircraft is normally based in Chiang Mai, but I travel extensively around Thailand, and can often be found in Siracha, Pattaya, (there is a very healthy LSA community there.), Bangkok, and Phuket. The advantge of having a very capable IFR machine with great short field performance :-)
My Thai PPL has a picture on it, and I do have a official Thai airside pass, also photoid'd, but I would be amazed if that got me airside in Oz?
I have been in touch with the ASIC ID guys, and they have confirmed they can only send it to a local address, and require a Thai criminal record check, which will be fun to obtain.
I normally do all my own paperwork, where it is possible to do, but for those authorities that will not deal with individual pilots, I have used WhiteRose very successfully in the past, especially on the longer trips, such as my journey back to Europe last year with the aircraft.
Cheers. E

They did not require it back in 2007 either, but the reply I got yesterday is quite unequivocal. I will be following it up to make sure, since most things involving Thai bureaucracy normally involves an inordinate amount of time and patience to obtain....

Was a bit tongue in cheek!

As part of my trip, I was planning to return via some of the South Pacific Islands, and PNG. I am not HF equipped, but I do carry a fixed installation sat phone, which I have in the past been able to substitute for HF on other trips in different parts of the world.
Does any one know if it is possible to use a sat phone instead of HF in this region, where HF is mandated?
