Your passport is NOT your property...

property of wikipedia

So whilst you are on a trip to Thailand


NEVER submit your passport


Take a photocopy of your passport with you and 
feel free to hand this over if it is requested.


BUT then who does request it?


 When you rent a vehicle to drive...


Don't rent a vehicle - too many accidents....


BUT if it is not a property WHY do you have to pay for it 
and / or 
get a refund when you pass away?
