It's not like the blue book IT IS the 'blue' book for foreigners, it's just yellow. It's called not surprisingly a ทะเบียนบ้านสีเหลือง <-yellow house book
The only people who can be listed in the blue colored house book are thais, half-thais, foreigners with permanent residence status or ones who also hold thai citizenship. for everyone else it's the yellow book.
Other than some places taking it as proof of residence and it being part of the criteria to get that i/d card for normal foreigners, it's worthless as tits on a tomcat.
