Good on ya Scotty!

Forgot to mention in my tale I needed to present the wife's Blue Book too which raises an interesting question.

I wonder if any single guys have been able to get the Yellow Book? They should under Thai Law that says all Farang are entitled to the book. I wonder if as a single bloke owning (or even renting) a condo or house can get the Blue Book?

Anybody know?
