What is Tabien Baan?

The Tabien Baan (ทะเบียนบ้าน) is Thailand's official house registration system. Think of it as a detailed record of who lives at each address, maintained by the local district office. For foreigners, there are two types: the standard Tabien Baan for property owners and a special "Yellow" Tabien Baan for long-term foreign residents.
